Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
Revoking Bail
we were told be our lawyer if a guilty plea was entered he could stay out till sentencing.But after being out for 7 months he saw a probation officer and admitted that he had a drink because his sister died. He is being charged with a dui which they are trying to use as a third strike,2 prior burglaries 20 years ago. We are now being told that a new (law) i guess it is, says that a judge can revoke your bail and give you no bail if he feels that you are a threat to the community. Is there a new law that says this? Please email me as soon as possible...THANK YOU for any help you can give us.
