Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

prop 36 requirements

There is quite a bit more to this than I can explain in the space provided, but the abridged version is as follows. In San Diego County, I was arrested, charged, and convicted of possession and a prior prison term enhancement, then sentenced to prop 36. I was told I would do 4 years if I screwed up. OK, I live in LA so they were kind enough to transfer just my treatment here, not my actual probation. My disabled mother lives alone in another state, and cannot afford live in help and there is no one to help her. I want desperately to be there to help her and I honestly believe being there with my mom and away from all the crap here would help me more than this prop 36 is. What are the chances of the judge in San Diego considering just basically giving up on me and letting me go be with my mom? If I just decided to go w/o permission, how long would I have to look over my shoulder? Please help, I am so ashamed and tired of all this, and I know While I help my mom, she will help me.

Re: prop 36 requirements

You MIGHT be able to convince the court to transfer your probation and treatment to the other state on a showing of good cause. Contact me if interested in discussing the procedures you will need to do before making the request, plus the anticipated attorney fees and costs of that effort.
