    Default Parole Violation Hearing for Charges That Were Dismissed

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
    My brother was on parole, had 3months left to complete it and now he has a parole revokation hearing coming up. He was facing new charges for a crime that really didn't exist. The whole case was a sham and basically his word verses hers and she was a no show to court. After spending the holidays being held in county jail they have now dismissed these new charges but they are charging him with parole violation. The alleged victim is now going to video conference in on his parole hearing and claims that she fears for her life. They are trying to bring up a gun which never existed. The original charges involved a gun but again he was not arrested with a gun, there is no gun into evidence just a girl who is incarcerated herself at the moment for her own parole violation, who is a drug attict (one of her violations), and was sleeping with our cousin and coming around my mothers house and other places where my brother is known to be. Also the charges were dropped. How can they violate his parole on charges that were dropped and how can they prove there was a gun involved if there is no evidence of gun involvement, before the case was dismissed the charges were lessened to not include any charge with a gun. How is this possible and what should we do. My brother is innocent and the case was dismissed. This girl is just crazy and on a revenge binge. Even if she does fear for her life her parole address is supposed to be in royal oak which is at least an hour from my brothers location in Pontiac plus not to mention she is being held in a facility at the moment. My brother if forced to complete his original sentence is looking at an additional 14yrs since he already did 6yrs of his max 20. Please help! What steps should we take and what can we do if anything. Is this lawful I thought the court system is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. My brothers charges were dismissed so how can they do this?

    please someone point me into the right direction. Do you know if there is a way to get court appointed representation for a parole hearing?

    Yes he can still get violated even if all the charges on the new case are dismissed. He should hire an attorney to assist him with the probation violation.

    Dang, I wish people would follow the instruction not to respond to their own threads.

    So what's the present status of this?

    If a person qualifies for a court-appointed lawyer, it should be possible to get the court to appoint a lawyer for a formal parole violation hearing.
