i learned my lesson
Um...most people that have "learned [their] lesson" do not commit the same offense of which they have learned their lesson about. :rolleyes:

Anyways, the answer to your question is, "maybe". The state needs to feel that you deserve a THIRD change. Do you?

Since you did complete your initial probation with no problems (that is a correct assumption, yes?), that could help convince the state that you deserve a chance that we all know you don't truly deserve.

Do note that if you are given probation again this time around that the state will absolutely NOT tolerate a third strike, and you WILL see jail time.
