Sent to Blair County Prison, awaited hearing for two years and three months before allowed a hearing. No outdoor time during this period. Accepted a plea of 2-4 years.

If you pled guilty and the sentence was 2-4, you waived your right to a trial. Any lawyer is going to want to be paid up front. Perhaps family can help?
