Re: probation hold

Six prepositional phrases in a single sentence. Wow.

I would have the defendant's attorney file a motion for his release.

Re: probation hold

Someone on Probation Violation does not have statutory or constitutional right to bail if held on probation violation petition. Generally, the judge will hold them for as long as it takes to generate a new probation report, which on average will take a couple of weeks.

It is the lawyer's job to raise arguments and hell that such treatment is unjust and completely uncalled for under the circumstances.
