My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota
Plea bargained--(believe stupidly) 8 months ago, for check fraud. $600 violation. No previous criminal history, criminal score--1. Reduced to Gross Misdemeanor with 2 year SUPERVISED probation. Randam UA's, no allowance to liquor serving establishments, maintain employment, DWI class per Chem assessment. At risk but not an issue 07/2008. dug heels in at plea agreement that seemed to grow every time I returned to court---check fraud charge involved family who wrote letters to judge claiming drug use, etc. (in my eyes hearsay) Tired of court, wore down, I took the plea. Eight months into probation, compliance check prompted by abusive boyfriends calls to probation officer with all kinds of accusations (who I have filed OFP on) unfortunately discovery of a pipe and two baggies with residue of methamphetamine and failed UA landed a three day lockdown in county jail. Probation officer influenced by abusive boyfriend 5 months ago and recently with false alerts of drug ring, etc., etc..... even though probation officer informed several times of abusive acohol issues . Public Defender says congrats at first hearing, given option of 18 month drug court (which seems more like jail than jail would be...) after his counsel of 2 minutes at arraignment and one minute counsel outside court room at 1st hearing.
what are options? I also have evidence that probation officer in violation report has made several false accusations that can be refuted and documented. Public Defender spent 5 minutes with me, and got rather upset that I insisted upon continuance based upon inadequate information of rights, and options. Granted, but probation officer, Prosecutor and Public defender dug heels all way, and were very peeved!!!! Pulled me in for another UA right out of court room although UA just done 15-20 days earlier. Still tested for THC, but had not had any use within that period of time. Methamphetamine was a negative....
Help!!! please....![]()
