Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks' husband Apollo Nida is facing up to 30 years in prison at his sentencing today and Apollo is hoping the judge will disregard his previous criminal history…
Ahead of his sentencing Apollo requested that his criminal history be re-classified from Criminal History Category V to Criminal History Category IV.
From Radar Online ,
“A criminal history category of V substantially overstates the seriousness of Mr. Nida’s criminal past, thus warranting a departure from the Guidelines range,” his attorneys stated in July 3 documents, citing the 35-year-old personal trainer’s history of three probation revocations, driving under the influence, and giving a false name to law enforcement, all before he turned 24 years old."
“Mr. Nida’s lengthy but early small-time criminal history is simply not in the same league as the “violent offenders, drug kingpins and perpetrators of far more serious offenses” that Criminal History Category V was designed to address.”
