Violation Of Probation

ScottGem · Oct 23, 2006, 10:33 AM

Its hard to tell. On the face of it it appears that it should be waived, but you never can tell. Since he took the class, paid the fine and wrote the apology, what did he violate? The only thing I can see would be reporting to the probation officer. Didn't his PO try to contact him or did they just pick him up when he missed his first appt?

Yes, they did send a letter.
But my suborn husband, said the letter is a mistake and the judge would know.
Had previosly reported to the probation officer three times.
On the last visit to the probatiotion officer -He said he would take care of things and see to it my husbnads final ppr be sent to the judge.
I guess this is when he realized the scratched out word on his court papers. This really was a trick on the courts part.
Any way, now he's in jail no bond and currently working double-shifts in the kitchen - they listed him as a trustee - Please note: this is Seminole County -Florida. I don't know what will happen when he goes before the judge. My husband does not want probation! He rather sit in jail, first. YES, I know he is very stubborn.. But I just hate not knowing.

Well, I hope he's learned you DO NOT ignore a letter from a PO or a court. As soon as he got the letter he should have called or gone into the PO and found out what was going on. Ignoring the letter was a BIG mistake.

Again, its hard to tell what the court will decide. If he was just picked up, he could plead that he was under the impression from the judge and the PO that it was all done with. That's still his argument, but having gotten the letter its harder to make a case for that.

WELL, what's the worse that can happen?

He could get jail time for the balance of his probation.

Thank you for your honesty and quick responses. In truth, My husband has been in jail, 30 already. HE will be seeing a judge today at 1:30 - I'm biting off all my nails waiting to hear the outcome. I am at work, typing to you instead of working... I hate this!
I would love to hear time served and he's released. But I know that is wishfull thinking.
I'm sure the latter will be complete the rest of his probtion time. ANd he will not want that.
THe worse as you said will be jail time for the remainding 5 months. This he will do!
But that leaves me to deal with everything on the outside - And that includes staying Celibate. The worse thing about all of this is the family has to be punished same as the offender. And the charge is so dumb! I'm a mother with 2 teenage boys. I don't drive, and live more than 1 hr away from work. Don't mind me - I'm just venting. Thanks again.

Hello vacation:

Tell him NOT to tell the judge that he'd rather not have probation. Believe me, the judge would just as soon that he sit in the can.

I've done time with people like your husband. They don't believe they can live up the rules of probation or parole, so they'd rather sit in the slam. ? I never did understand that kind of thinking.

Your husband doesn't think he can make it on probation? Where does he get that from? He already did make it. Tell him all he has to do as answer the letters they send.
