Phoenix, AZ asked in Criminal Law, Civil Rights and Constitutional Law for Arizona

Q: Revocation Hearing, Board said inmate WAVED to reinstate . Inmate told waving right to an atorney. Another hearing?

Inmate NEEDS supervision reinstated. It would have been granted but Board said Inmate WAVED- Inmate did not intentionally WAVE- He was misinformed when signed paper. What can inmate do now to get RELEASED?

A: Thank you for your question, but I'd need to clarify some of the finer points to give a more accurate answer. First, was this a revocation hearing to revoke probation? If so, what type of probation? Also, I'm interested to know more about the board that said that rights were waived and exactly what paper was signed by the accused.
