Can I violate my probation with a crime I did before I was in probation?
Asked on Apr 29th, 2017 on Criminal Law - California
More details to this question:
My girlfriend and I got into an argument and things got out of hand. She pushed me and I pushed her back. She got a scratch in her hand from the wall. A lady saw and called the cops. I was charged with penal code 273.5 and I am on probation now. I recently received a letter being charged from penal code 242 since my dad and I got into a fist fight. He put charges against me. The accident happened before I was in probation. I need to appear in court in less than a month. If I am arrested, what can I expect from this?
Instead of worrying about probation violation (the answer is NO), you need to focus your attention on how you can avoid being convicted. Time to shop for a lawyer.
