Can a Federal judge handle a STATE DUI?

Judge Esther Salas is the federal judge presiding over Tre & Joe’s federal case. Her jurisdiction is over federal cases only. Joe’s DMV’s case is a State case and is still being handled by the State. Once Joe is convicted and sentenced to let’s say 10 years and starts serving his federal time. Once the state DMV case is called to trial, Joe will be pulled out of federal prison to stand trial for the State case. If he is convicted in the state case and sentenced to 5 years (hypothetically) he will continue to serve his federal time first then will serve the state time behind the federal time.

If FED accepts his plea, he’ll serve 10 yrs then serve 10 for DUI & such?

It’s likely, he’ll serve his federal time first then the State DMV charges after. Sentencing in the the federal fraud case won’t happen on Tuesday. It will take place at a sentencing hearing 4-8 months from Tuesday.

If FED judge AGREES with their plea then Joe don’t spend any time for his dui’s and such? Correct?

Regardless of what the outcome is on Tuesday in the federal fraud case, Joe will still have to stand trial for his DMV state case. The plea agreement reached in the federal fraud case is separate from the state case and judgement in each case are not related.

Will Joe be Deported?

The plea deal will not keep Joe from being deported. Joe is  not a US citizen and will likely be deported back to Italy, after conviction, INS has the final decision.

Time of hearing? And how will we know outcome? Follow you like glue??? I need a live stream?

The outcome of Tuesday’s proceedings will not be televised. Cameras are not allowed in federal court rooms. But I am working with sources close to the case and will keep everyone up-to-date with the latest news. Both on here and Twitter.
