QUESTION
Should I expect jail time till next court date?
Asked on Jun 24th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Georgia
More details to this question:
I have missed a court date and stopped fulfilling my probation terms for a DUI. This bench warrant is over a year old. I visited the court clerk to get a court date and take care of this. Will I be jailed after that initial appearance and how long does it usually take until the next court date for terms of my probation?

Whether you are going to jail depends on what you did to violate the terms and conditions of your probation, whether you admit the probation violation and who the Judge, DA and defense attorney are.

It is up to the judge. The judge may continue you on probation, or set the case for a probation revocation hearing, probably within a month or two.

If the warrant is quashed, then you will not necessary go to jail if you admit to violations, you will be re-sentenced - sometimes this is jail and sometimes it is to get the probation conditions finished with some additional community service or something like that if you can get back in classes and do some community service prior to the court date, that will help.

You could very well be. However, it is up to the judge.
