A:
get a lawyer asap......who was your lawyer on the underlying case? can you go back and seek advice.
a lawyer has to review all the evidence, including your probation terms and conditions.
were you supposed to stay away from a location or not be with an individual/s???
gather evidence to support your innocence but you should not talk to the police...your lawyer should. It's not just what you said but what they thought they heard you say.

A:
In California, if you are facing a probation violation and new charges, it is important to act promptly and responsibly. First, ensure you attend all court dates and comply with any current probation conditions. Ignoring court orders or probation terms can exacerbate your situation. Communicate openly with your probation officer about your circumstances and the charges against you.
Gathering evidence that supports your innocence or mitigates your involvement is crucial. This could include alibi evidence, witness statements, or any other proof that you were not involved in the alleged crime. It’s essential to organize this information clearly and accurately for your defense.
Consult with a legal advisor who understands the nuances of your situation and California law. A knowledgeable advisor can guide you through the legal process, help you understand your rights, and represent your interests in court. Remember, having professional guidance can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
