Re: Violation of probation
Are you saying he has a new pending charge or alleged violation of probation? He is likely in jeopardy of having his probation either extended or revoked. If revoked, then he stands to go back to jail for a period. Remember: Probation is a privilege, not a right. It's time he would have otherwise spent in jail. He needs a good criminal lawyer -- preferably from the area where this is pending.
