Facing Violation of Probation Charges in ct?

Trust BBB Attorneys to Safeguard Your Freedom

In Connecticut, a violation of probation occurs when an individual fails to adhere to the terms set forth during their probationary period. This could involve missing scheduled meetings with a probation officer, failing drug tests, committing new crimes, or any other breach of the conditions specified by the court. Violations can result in severe penalties, including the revocation of probation and the imposition of the original suspended jail sentence. Given these potential consequences, it is crucial for those accused of probation violations to seek immediate legal assistance to protect their rights and potentially mitigate the outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are common reasons for probation violations in Connecticut?

    Common reasons include failing to appear at a court date, failing drug or alcohol tests, not completing required treatment programs, associating with known criminals, or committing a new crime.

  • What happens if I am accused of violating my probation?

    If you are accused of a probation violation, you will likely be required to attend a violation hearing. At this hearing, the court will determine whether a violation occurred based on a "preponderance of the evidence" standard, which is lower than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard used in criminal trials.

  • What are the possible outcomes of a probation violation hearing?

    Possible outcomes include continuation of your existing probation with the same or modified terms, imposition of additional probation terms, brief incarceration, or, in severe cases, revocation of probation and serving the original jail term or longer.

What Is a Violation of Probation?

A violation of probation in Connecticut is considered any action or inaction that contradicts the conditions explicitly set by the court during the sentencing phase. This includes a wide range of activities, depending on the specific terms of each probation agreement. Actions that typically constitute a violation include:

Failure to Appear: Not showing up for a scheduled court date or meeting with a probation officer.

Failed Drug Tests: Testing positive for illegal drugs or alcohol if sobriety is a condition of probation.

Non-compliance with Treatment Programs: Not attending or completing court-ordered treatment and rehabilitation programs.

Association with Known Criminals: Contacting or associating with individuals known to be involved in criminal activities.

Committing New Crimes: Any new criminal activity is a clear breach of probation terms.

Consequences of Violation of Probation

A violation of probation in Connecticut is considered any action or inaction that contradicts the conditions explicitly set by the court during the sentencing phase. When someone is placed on probation, they are required to adhere to certain stipulations which might include regular check-ins with a probation officer, abstaining from illegal drug use, avoiding certain people or places, and not committing any additional crimes. Violating any of these conditions can trigger a range of legal responses, tailored to both the nature of the violation and the original offense.

Continuation of Probation: The judge may opt to continue probation under the same terms or with new conditions.

Incarceration: Depending on the severity of the violation, short-term incarceration or reinstatement of the original suspended sentence may be imposed.

Enhanced Penalties: Additional fines or extended probation periods can also be part of the consequences.
