Can you please answer this question about my delayed sentence and veteran treatment end date?
Order Delaying Sentence
There is a section that says “It is ordered: The sentence is delayed until, 7/23/2025 12:00 AM (not to exceed one year.
the reason for the delay is: the defendant shall be placed under the supervision of ‘Probation officer’.”
Would 7/23/2025 be the day I would get off probation if everything goes fine with no violations?
A:
Not necessarily.
It COULD be the court will just dismiss the charges at that point, or it COULD decide to continue probation, or it COULD decide to impose jail/prison time .... there is nothing in what you quoted to suggest which of the possible outcomes the Court is contemplating and you don't state what crime you're actually being sentenced for. Given all the options it is impossible to say, but you SHOULD be asking these questions of your own attorney.
With knowledge of the facts and conditions of the plea agreement (I'm assuming this was part of a plea deal but even that is unclear from your question) a real answer can be possible.
That said, a 'delayed sentencing' plea is USUALLY entered on the plan/assumption that if the defendant complies with all the terms of probation during that term SOME SORT of leniency will be offered. Be that a dismissal, reduction in fines/time served etc. it is impossible to say. Talk with your attorney!
Good luck.
