Re: Sentence

If the 'violation of order of protection' is deemed a parole violation, then he will possibly be required to fulfill his entire sentence. On the other hand, the violation alone may not produce any jail time. the judge may jail him for up to 6 months for violating the order, but that would be unusual for a first time.

The important thing is for you to be involved in the process. You must be heard. You can influence the district attorney.

You can contact the district attorney directly or through a 'victim protection' office. A woman's legal aid organization or legal aid can also assist you.

Good luck.
