what happened to him then ?
neutral
user
not much ; it was a minor offence back then . He got away with a fine of $ 500 .

assistant
did they take his license away ?
neutral
user
no , they were really easy on him . The problem is that that was a long time ago . They are much tougher on crime now .

assistant
what do you think will happen to him ?
neutral
user
well , he'll definitely lose his license , pay a fine , and maybe even spend some time in jail .
neutral
assistant
that doesn't sound too promising . Does he have a defence lawyer ?
neutral
user
not yet . If we can't find a lawyer for him , then the state will appoint him with one .
neutral
assistant
my sister is a lawyer . I can ask her if she can help him .
neutral
user
that'd be great ! I know he'd appreciate your help .
