However he got into some trouble and went right back to jail for armed robbery/dangerous weapon,assault by strangulation,robbery with dangerous weapon 2 counts of each, Every month they reschedule his court date.I want to know if he is going to get a lot of time.

Yes, he is looking at a very long sentence. These charges are very serious and the fact that he is a felon with a gun is a minimum of five years. Using it in a robbery is twenty years, assault with intent could bring him several decades of hard time.
