Q: A friend of mine was arrested yesterday, in Louisiana. The officer did not read her the Miranda rights.
She was charged with Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault (RS 14:37.7)
As i am aware that this is a felony charge. I have a few concerns, considering she was on Felony probation at the time.
She has not seen a judge yet, but she will be seeing one tomorrow. Earlier, they set a bond of $25,0000.
I am not sure what to think at this point. Will another charge be added when she sees the judge, for violating her felony probation?
Also, if they set a bond, would we have the opportunity to bail her out before she sees a judge? or will she have to see the judge first?
This is what the Jades system has for her:
CODE: [RS14:37.7]
LITERAL: DOMESTIC ABUSE AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
-- (1) 25,000 BOND / AW 1ST APP PJ/JUDGE SIGUR (SEE NOTES)
A: i do not recommend posting bond for a probationer arrested on a felony since the probation hold will prevent their release and, worse, will prevent them from earning any jail credit on the new arrest.
