LITCHFIELD - A Litchfield Superior Court judge allowed Charles Motusick to have one more chance to stay out of jail Tuesday. Charles Motusick, 21, was ordered to successfully undergo an 18-month treatment program or face the possibility of spending 12 years behind bars.

"You must complete that program if you don't the court will expect you will be brought back here on another violation," Judge Alexandra DiPentima told Motusick. "I can only hope this is the last time I am saying this to you."

Motusick has served time before, for a larceny conviction and he's been on probation twice. When probation offices noticed his positive results from drug tests early this year, they made an unannounced visit to his house where they discovered a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun, a small amount of cocaine and a syringe.

Motusick pled guilty to criminal possession of a firearm and admitted to violating his probation on Tuesday. The gun charge calls for a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Motusick's case was scheduled for Dec. 10, so the court could review the status of his rehabilitation.

"This is the first time we are looking at treatment for a serious substance abuse problem," Motusick's attorney, John Logan said following the hearing.

Motusick looked back at his mother, Tracey Thurman who sat in the gallery weeping for her son.

Motusick was only two years old when his mother was brutally beaten and stabbed by his father, Charles "Buck" Thurman in 1983.

For many years, Thurman advocated for changes in domestic violence laws and won a $2 million lawsuit. Later her son was sentenced to 6 1/2 years for domestic violence.
