Can You Face Your Original Charges if You Violate Probation After a Plea Bargain
My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey. Let's say I was charged with multiple felony's with the potential for lengthy prison time but all of the charges were dismissed except for a disorderly persons charge which I pled guilty to and received one year of probation. I read that if i violate probation i could be incarcerated for the original charges. It's not a conditional discharge type of thing. Which charges? All of the felony's or just the disorderly person charge? thanks
Re: Can You Face Your Original Charges if You Violate Probation After a Plea Bargain
If part of your plea bargain was that the indictable crimes (felonies) would be deferred until the conclusion of your probation, and that you could again face those charges if you violated your probation, then it's possible that a probation violation could result in the resumption of your indictable criminal charges. If there are no such conditions in your sentence, then no such conditions apply to you.
