probation revocation hearing

[kristinam]

Hello all,

I'm on probation for a first time DUI in the state of Nebraska. I've missed too many meetings and now I'm having a hearing to have my probation revoked. Is this something that I will have to do jail time for? If I will get jail time, can it be more than the 7 days that were suspended when I received probation? thanks for you help,

Kristina

how long are you on probation for???????? 1 year, 2 years???????????? what ever the amount of time your probation is for, that is the amount of time you can be facing at your hearing.......Believe me.....It is serious......Hope this helps..........dodat

I was given a year probation. The year will be over in March. So are you saying that I can face a year in jail, or the remaining time of my probation? Either way is serious though. Does anyone know if this is strictly upheld for first time offenders? Also, does the type of probation violation (missing meetings were my only ones) affect the sentence at all?

you can be facing up until March......And they don't care about 1st offenders....That is why they put you on probation...that was the chance they gave you.....My son is sitting in jail right now for probation violation and he didn't even go for his revocation hearing yet...they are holding him in jail. They don't care....I wish you luck. They only advice I can give you is to call your probation officier and ask if you can make up the visits you missed....maybe twice a month instead of once a month or whatever you was scheduled to do.....If you have a probation officier like my son has, they will not allow you to do this...although some of them are nice people. Give it a try. Good luck to you.

My fiance is in jail right now for 7 months to a year for a probation violation. He only owed them 7 months but they look at violation of probation worse then the crime itself. He was due to come home in October but they denied him so now he has to sit there until April. Good luck
