Probation Violation

[andreamdc]

What is the name of your state? New Mexico
My boyfriend is on probation for domestic violence. The case is dismissed but he is still on probation. The party dismissed it herself. He got a DWI and violated his probation. He is in jail now and had a hearing the "victim" came to court and his public defender said she didnt want to do anything because she was there. Does she have any right being there? Will she matter in his sentencing wit his violation? This is his first violation and his first DWI.

Q: Does she have any right being there?

A: Yes, she is the victim and has a right to be there. In fact, it is open to the public so anyone can be there.


Q: Will she matter in his sentencing wit his violation?

A: It may be possible for the judge to take her info into account. However, the judge is more likely to be influenced by your friend's actions whcih clearly show that he is not interested in being on probation. Thus, your friend's actions show quite plainly that he wants to go to jail.
