Can they change charges after sentencing and while on probation and if so, can charges be changed or dismissed during probation?
Asked on Jan 18th, 2016 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
I'm depressed and innocent but I have a question about what charges were brought upon me. At presentencing the judge reduced my a&b to simple assault and dismissed one charge. I was sentenced to one year probation. I thought everything stayed the same but I got a notice in the mail of my next probation appointment and on it was listed aggravated assault. On my probation order form, it says assault. I don't know why this is happening to me. No one was ever harmed on the scene. An off duty sheriff was there and made up some lies. I'm a good person and my life just got ruined.
Check with court clerk to verify charge you were convicted of. If you feel it is incorrect in final disposition in file then order transcript of sentencing to see what court said at that time.
