Re: busted twice

Honey, run don't walk to the nearest vice attorney.  Get someone who specializes in solicitation.

I know girls with 18 priors who never spent more than a night in jail.

You don't say where you live so it's hard to say what you may face.

You didn't say if you where a client or a provider. I assume your a provider not that it really matters, just curious.

First the disclaimer. I am not a lawyer and this doesn't constitute legal advice. That said, remember most probation cases have stipulations that if you commit the crime again you can receive additional penalties. However, if they drop the charges of the second arrest then they can not prove(in the eyes of the law) that a crime occurred. Thus as the law in concerned you can't violate probation if you didn't commit a crime.

In my opinion get a good lawyer and  get the second arrest droped.

My 2 Cents.

Most prosecutors and probation officers will drop a probation violation charge if the court throws out the new charge.  However, I have seen prosecutors try the pv charge occasionally under such circumstances.  Such circumstances ordinarily were when the charges were more serious (i.e. felonies) or in rural courts where they have nothing better to do.  They'd need to prove a pv charge by a preponderance of the evidence, a lower standard than the more familiar "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard for new charges.  I agree with the previous posters...retain counsel and inform counsel of your probation status.
