I gave you the truth. Sorry if it's not to your liking.

The charge isn't meaningless; it's a serious offense of violence. As for whether it's worth it to incarcerate you for it, that's for a judge to decide.

I do not see a long jail sentence in your future, but as you noted, you would like to take care of this so that you can finally get a license, etc. Putting this behind you will require taking the steps that I outlined in my first post: posting a bond, getting a new court date, and going before the judge to dispose of the probation violation issue.

If you pi$$ off the judge, there's a lot of other things he/she can do to you other than put you in jail, by the way.
