Q: Hi, I'm asking this question in regards to my husband whom is incarcerated for a felony identity theft charge that
Been fighting for over a year when on the last court date before his final sentencing court date he was told by his lawyer and the prosecutor that they would discuss probation for his final sentencing. However, they did not do so they locked him up and the judge gave him 2 years but told him he could file for shock in 60 days and he would grant him shock probation. However he was scheduled for his shock probation hearing on Thursday but Wednesday night the facility he was in shipped him out 3 hours away and so he could not be present for his hearing. But I was and his court appointed lawyer was. But the judge only said he would take it under advisement. I don't understand I'm a lil bit annoyed that they would move him the night before this he could not and did not have a voice. What does this mean and how likely is it the judge will grant him this ?
A: If the judge previously told him he would grant shock probation in 60 days, he will likely be shock probated after 60 days.
