Answer 3

THE JUDGE TAKES ALL FACTORS INTO ACCOUNT. TRY FRIENDS, CLERGY PERSONS, AND IN A POWER POSITION. THE JUDGE WILL ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR DISPOSITION, DEMEANOR, YOUR CASE HISTORY. GET ANTONE YOU CAN THINK OF BUT FIRST ASK YOUR PROBATION OFFICER WHERE TO GO. THEY LIKE THAT STUFF.

Answer 4

Yes, the judge knows that the PO is constantly monitoring the probationer, and would most likely go with the PO's recommendation. Try and get some good letters of support if you think your friend is being rail-roaded. Show the judge stuff that are positive that your friend has done since being on probation. Make sure he/she has paid all fee's and taken all classes before trying to put up a defence. Good Luck
