Q: In Kentucky is someone eligible for shock probation if they get caught for trafficking meth and probation violation.
Serve their time then get released, just to get hit with 10 probation violations for felony offences? Let's say hypothetically if someone Had a friend get caught for trafficking meth first offense first degree and a probation violation. He served about two years on that, then was released. A couple months after his release he got caught for trafficking meth more than 3 grams first degree first offense and also got hit with 10 probation violations for felony offenses with all 10 (ten) equaling over $100,000. Two months after being jailed he's back on the streets. Would the hypothetical friend get shock probation or would he be 'singing' so to speak?
A: Impossible to say for certain but the likelihood is greater that he’s talking than just getting lucky breaks.
