I got a deferred sentence in Colorado back in March for a felony prescription fraud case. Unfortunatly, I was arrested in August for assault. I am completely aware that if I get convicted of a new charge, I will violate my deferred sentence and probation, thus having the felony conviction stick. My question is this...my new case keeps getting postponed. The next court date will be a year into my probation. I have probation for 2 years. Is there anyway I could delay my convicition until I get off of probation so that my deferrment won't get revoked? Would they even let me off probation with pending charges? My probation officer is aware of the new charges but has told me that she is not going to file a probation violation until I'm actually convicted of something. She said she is doing this just in case the new charges are dismissed. This is not going to happen. I don't know what to do. Can I delay the matter and finish probation? I have a public defender and she is not sure what to do either. She suggested we have them file the probation violation now so that the two different counties will find a general solution and actually work togethe. And maybe they'll agree that if I plead guilty they won't revoke the deferred. My problem is complicated because the two cases are in different counties. One is in district court and the other is a misdemeanor. And for the moment the two courts are not willing to work together so that I can protect the deferrment. Please help. What are my options?
