Q: I have a question about a major violation report
I received a copy of the letter of my probation officer sent to the judge requesting a probation violation hearing on restitution and it even says on the paperwork that my restitution is not do a til upon release of Probation and I'm just confused
A: That is indeed strange. Contact the attorney who represented you on the underlying charge to look into this for you.
A: You would need to check the sentencing order in the case in which you were originally placed on probation. The Court speaks through its written orders. I recommend checking with your original attorney or have your current attorney review the order. The letter from your probation might just be a typo error. But it would be highly unusual for a court to say your restitution is not due until after your probation. The orginal court order probably required you to pay reatirution while on probation. Again, the orginal court order is what matters in your case, regarsless of what your PO might have put in a letter.
