    Default Possible Sentence for Multiple Probation Violations

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee. I have a brother in law who was sentenced to 8 years probation for aggravated robbery against an elderly lady. He was able to not get arrested for a couple of years. He was then arrested for domestic assault against my wife and myself in October. He was able to bond himself out of jail. He has since been arrested for the domestic assault against his girlfriend last week. He bonded himself out once again. He has a court date next week for the first domestic assault charges against my wife and me and violation of probation charge. What are the chances of him actually having to spend some jail or prison time for his behavior and not just another slap on the wrist? His criminal history involves multiple DUI and minor drug charges, and the aggravated robbery charge.

    Default Re: Possible Sentence for Multiple Probation Violations

    When you commit a probation or parole violation, you can be resentenced on the original charge up to the maximum remaining term of incarceration.

    If this person wants to know what his sentence is likely to be, he should be talking to his criminal defense lawyer.

    If you want to know what is likely to happen given his history of family violence, try speaking with the prosecutor who is handling his case or a victim's rights liaison at the prosecutor's office.
