Can I get in trouble for probation violation when I go to court and have a victims advocate speak for me instead?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
No. If you were the victim of domestic violence, you cannot get in trouble for having the victim's advocate say a few words on your behalf, but they usually do not do that. If you were on probation, and someone committed a crime against you, you cannot get into trouble for calling 911. You might get in trouble for violation of probation if a police reports says you were drinking and probation did not allow you to consume alcoholic beverages. You could also face filing a false police report.

What is a felony plea sentence?

Diane Buerger
Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
Your question is somewhat confusing.  A felony plea sentence just means that the Defendant was charged with some kind of a felony.  A defendant has an option of going to trial (if the person pleads not guilty to the charge) or entering a plea of guilty or "no contest" rather than go to trial.  Usually a guilty or "no contest" plea involves a negotiated plea bargain -- but not always; a person can plead to a felony charge without the benefit of any negotiated plea deal).  Upon pleading guilty or "no contest" to the felony charge, the judge imposes a sentence.  If the charge to which the person pled was a felony, then that would be a "felony plea sentence."

When you plead the 5th, the prosecutor will give you immunity, then when you refuse to testify you will be jailed for contempt.
