What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Georgia
My sons attorney filed a motion for sentence modification. The judge modified the sentence. The Judge reduced the sentence from 10 years to 7 years to serve. The judge added the three years to my sons probation. He did have 5 years, now he has 8 year probation. Is that legal. I thought that a Judge could only reduce the sentence and not add to it. Are there any websites that help you understand Georgia's law. I would like to know what is the law for sentence modification in Georgia. Thank you for answering my question!
