Hello. I have a question for a friend. He just finished his parole at the end of August and right before the end of August, he was arrested for a warrant he had and didn't know about. He had a court date that he didn't go to because he was under the impression, it was taken care of before the court date. The court date was because he is not to have any contact with his daughters mother and she claimed that he threatened her which if it was to happen it wouldn't have been in person but I think she took something he said over the phone as a threat. So he missed the court date and was arrested mid August. He has a court date set for next week for the violation of parole. How serious is this violation of parole if the "threatening" can't be proved since he wasn't in the same county as her when she claimed this happened? Also what's the worst case scenario if her claims were un-true? Are they basing the violation of parole on the fact that he missed the court date or the algid threatening?

First does not matter if her claims are "untrue" what matters is if he can be convicted of it.

Next what really matters is, at the time of the arrest did he at once notify the prorole officer. Since not notifing them is often a more serous offense than what they do.

He did notify his parole officer when he was arrested. And also, his parole officer was the one that told him not to worry about the court date. She must have had additional information to show that it wasn't legit. And he was going to his parole officer for his regular visits before and after the warrant was issued and she never mentioned it to him. But now he has to go to court next week for violation of parole. Do you think that since its all a mess, there is a chance it could be thrown out? He has no money for representation either...
