Q: In work release got new charge 20 months ago now transferred to jail for vop with no bond
My fiance was in work release and caught a new charge in a different county 20 months ago his last day of work release they transferred him to jail for a probation violation and are saying that he will sit there until the charges are resolved in the other county but there isn't even a court date scheduled in the other county what can I do to help him
A:
If the new charge alleges conduct from before your fiance was sentenced to work release, you can file a petition for habeas corpus to challenge the alleged probation violation.
Otherwise, you can file a motion for bond on the probation revocation.
Please email me if you would like any help with these approaches.
