Probation Violation, NO DETENTION AND NO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

January 29th 2008
Probation Violation/Surrender
Client, a young woman on probation with a history of drug problems, was required by probation not to be re-arrested. While hanging out at a hotel, she was with people who were accused of stealing a motor vehicle, and during the investigation she was found to possess drugs, in violation of her probation contract. The probation department brought her before a judge and requested that she be held in the Framingham State Prison until a further court date for final surrender (or sentencing). After negotiation was unsuccessful, Attorney Barabino persuaded the judge to allow her to walk out of court on her own, and was she was not detained. A few weeks later, she came to court to for the sentencing. Attorney Barabino entered into negotiations with the probation officials, and she was allowed to be re-probated with the same terms of her original probation contract.
RESULT: Probation with NO DETENTION AND NO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.
