    Default Failure to Appear and Probation Violation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: troy michigan

    well i went to court today and i formally got charged with 2 misd. one is a fta and the second is poss. of marijuana,next is pre trial i got assigned a public defender today and all in all he seemed like he cared , whats most likely to happen at sentencing?i honestly did npt miss my court date on purpose and had every intent on showing up, so am i looking at more tougher probation again? house arrest? jail time? any input would be greatly appreciated and taken to heart thanks for taking the time to read this hope i can get some advice

    Your disposition depends in no small part on your prior record, and the nature of the charge for which you're on probation. Your lawyer is the best person to estimate your likely sentence.

    well absolutely no prior record, this charge i was charged with in 01,i just got my court papers for my pre trial hearing,i got the original judge i had back then and the judge that issued the warrant for fta, in court a week ago i was charged with failare to appear and probation violation, the cout papers for pre trial say offense's c/s poss. of marijuana, now i am totally confused they swtiched around my judge's and the charges they told me i was charged with in court are not on the court paper but insted c/s poss. of marijuana

    so with no priors and this is the only thing i have on my recored was most likely to happen??

    How did you violate your probation if you didn't have a prior conviction?
