Q: How likely is it that my husband will be grnted shock probation after the facility moved him the nite before his hearing
My husband had been fighting a theft of identity charge for over a year and on the court date before his final sentencing the lawyer and prosecutor was talking about probation since he hadn't bn in any trouble and he had a job and attended every court date. But the day of his final sentencing the judge locked him up and gave him 2 yrs. But told he if he filed for shock I. 60 days he would grant it to him. Well his shock probation hearing was this Thursday but the night before the facility in which he was being housed without notice up and shipped him 3 hours away knowing he had his hearing the next day. Hence causing him not to be able to attend his shock probation hearing and not be able to be a voice for himself. So myself and my husband's court appointed lawyer was in attendance. However the judge only said he would take it under advisement. I'm annoyed that they would move him the night before. How likely is it the judge will grant this to him.
A: If the judge previously told him he would shock him after 60 days, most likely he will be shock probated.
