The simple answer is "YES" you can ask the judge for more time before you are 're-sentenced' in your probation violation. If you have other pending cases, the courts typically have the probation complaint 'trail' (follow behind) the new cases - and if a plea bargain can be worked out in all cases together, then the court will often accept that. I strongly encouage you to apply for the public defender to represent you so that you have a lawyer helping you. You may find that the result is much better than you are anticipating.
