Optional Information

Riverside, California

Already Tried:
Nothing- was found Not guilty due to entrapment- now being told I violated probation for a DUI- What can I expect? Why would I be told I violted anything if I was found not guilty? I'm new to Calif. and this just doesn't make sence.

Accepted Answer

Hello.

 

The arrest itself can trigger a violation of probation. It does not necessarily mean that the judge will finid you in violation, however. More than likely, if that is the only "violation" that you have, you will appear before the judge and because you were found not guilty, the judge will probably dismiss the violation. I can't guarantee that the prosecutors won't try to violate you based on some of the information from the arrest, but generally when there is an acquittal, a judge won't find a violation during the hearing.

 

Good luck.
