    Default Probation Violations for Consecutive Sentences

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee- Individual has a 3 year and a 6 year probation sentence run consecutive. Original charges are from different counties, but are combined under one State Probation Officer. Individual violates probation during 1st probation sentence(3 year term). 2nd sentence(6 year term is not supposed to be running), State Probation Officer Violates individual and now there are Probation violations in the two(2) counties that the original charges came from. How is this possible? Thank you for any advice given.

    This is the first time I have posted this question anywhere, can you explain in more detail why state is allowed to violate both when when probation is not actually in effect until the first one is over. What is the principle behind it? Thanks.
    One would have to read the probation orders to know for sure, but while the probation terms run consecutively, it may well be that a violation of the probation terms on the first nevertheless has the effect of revoking both. The probationer really needs to to take a copy of the orders to a local criminal defense attorney to see what the state can do and whether he might succeed in avoiding being violated for both and potentially having to do the entire 9 year prison stretch.

    Yep, this makes only about the tenth legal site the poster has asked, and you are the thirtieth lawyer that has told him "no such luck" arguing he isn't subject to both probations being revoked.
