I signed a guilty plea for a suspended sentence,I was given fifteen suspended to three years and five years probation.My public defender talked me into this as it was my first felony.Well, after finishing my three years and about two of the five years of probation, I received a charge for shoplifting .My question is how much of the fifteen years am I looking at, I've served three already.will I get the remaining twelve automatically,or is there a chance I could get just get a few years?

Hello brad:

There's a chance that you won't get any time, or that you'll do it all. I'd hire a good lawyer.

excon

Yes, legally they can give you the entire 15 years, most likely for shoplifting they may do nothing but you need a good attorney just in case.

Opinion, nothing but then a new judge or new PO who wants to make a name for thierself, anything is possible

I agree with Excon and Chuck. The judge will be the ultimate decider of your fate and can sentence you to do the remainder of the 15 or more probation. It's totally up to him. Get a good attorney to help you on this.
