have a  friend that had to make same choice (different charges, she's wearing a braclet for a year) Take the 45 days! Your friends will still come see you and usually your probation officer will give you time out to do important things with advance notice.  Have you ever been in jail, even over night?  County jail is prob where you will be and it's the worst.  You'll be sorry if you choose jail. Trust me!

It depends on what their sentence is.  That is up to the courts.  \nFor instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton.  However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance.  I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.  \n\nUnfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.  \n\nIt's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.\n\nThe way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.\n\nMoral of the story... stay away from drugs.

She can do.  Once you break the law, your life is not your own.  Your probation officer can come to your home at anytime and search it without warrant...

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

it depends on a number of factors.He still might get probation,if he has been in compliance with his current probation. Tell him to ask for a public defender,or hire an attorney.

Ask your probation officer...\nDon't depend on answers in this medium for important information such as this.

Contact the Jury Commissioner with any concerns on your assignment for jury duty.

Depending on the laws of your state, you could be in contempt of court; subject to fines and possible jail time. If jury duty presents a hardship to you, you should contact the clerk of courts and explain why you can't attend. It used to be in my state (Ohio) that if you were a member of the clergy, officer of the court (attorney) or physician, you were excused automatically. They changed that; I don't know what your state laws/local rules provide, but simply ignoring the summons is not a good idea.

You can't have an arraignment without being served.\n\nThe Sheriff of the county you live in, probably will serve the papers filed by the Prosecutor, and signed by The Court.\n\nOnly..THEN...can you be Arraigned.

The idea that he is being charged with a previous charge is not correct.  when a person is placed on probation/supervision(depending on the charge and the state)\n\nPart of a person's porbation is to abide by the law, not violate any other laws and to do what the original court order says.  \n\nOften times these orders say report to probation at their request, inform probation department of your current address, do randome urine drops, DNA testing(usually in ore serious cases)etc.\n\nWhen probation discovers that these elements have not beel followed, they issue what is called(again the "words" vary by state) a "petition to revoke".  this is sent to the prosecutor's office who in turn files it with the circuit clerk and a notice is sent.(possibly a warrant depending on how serious the origial crime was)\n\nthe probationer is called into court and if the state can prove any of the elements in the petition to revoke, the probationer can be re-sentenced on the original charge.  \n\nAs for how long he will need to serve...well the most he can be sentenced for is the maximum of the original charge.  Now of coruse he can also be charged/convicted of the new offense which may have a jail/prison term also, but most courts run sentences concurrently.

I thought they could vote once they are off probation or parole for the offense?

Formal Probation (or Supervised Probation) requires the defendant to meet with an assigned probation officer on a regular basis (usually once a month). \n\nInformal Probation (or Summary Probation) requires the defendant to complete certain terms of the sentence and stay out of trouble.  Scheduled meetings with a probation officer are not necessary under summary or informal probation.\n\nNormally, probation (formal and informal) lasts three years, but this could vary depending on the defendant’s circumstances.  In some felony cases, formal probation can last for up to 5 years.\n\nInformal Probation (or Summary Probation) requires the defendant to complete certain terms of the sentence and stay out of trouble.

Its a hard decision only you can make, but you shouldn't put your neck out for her, if you could get charged with harboring a fugitive. If you don't want to risk getting into trouble and you don't want to turn her in then offer to buy her a bus ticket to somewhere or to turn herself in and give her money. Good luck! Please don't get yourself into legal troubles over this. If you have any questions about the legal ramifications, you could call a lawyer or police department and ask a hypothetical question about what could happen.

Call the probation department--I'm surprised you weren't put on supervision, your officer would refer you.

You must respond for jury duty.  \n\nOnce there you will be among many others, how many depends on a number of factors such as where you live and the type of cases to be tried.\n\nFrom this “Panel” of potential jury members individuals will be selected  through a process of Voir Dire (meaning – to speak the truth).  This is the preliminary examination made of prospective jurors so that the court (attorney questioning) can ask questions of the prospective juror to find out as to things such as competency, interest, knowledge of the parties involved in the case, things like that, and, from these select those they most desire on the final jury.\n\nIt is likely that those in the initial jury panel will not all have to go through this process (most jurisdictions select by lot) and after the jury selecting is complete the remaining people will be excused.  \n\nThose selected will comprise the jury itself and the alternates.\n\nIf a individual has some reason that they cannot attend they can present those reasons to the court.  If these are legitimate reasons that person will be excuse.\n\nDon’t the mistake of just not showing up.  You can be arrested and brought to the court.\n\nServing on a jury is a citizen responsibility and should be entered into willing and with enthusiasm.  It is one way a citizen can participate in the governmental process.  It is the right of our citizens to serve on juries to both judge the facts of the case as well as judge the application of the law, a right we have had since 1215 and the Great Charter (Magna Carta).\n\nThis is a responsibility each citizen should take seriously and gladly.  Those who advise to prospective jurors ways to just not do it, are doing you and your community no favor.

In Georgia, they issue a warrant for your arrest.  After being arrested, you have to explain to a judge why you did not respond to your jury summons.  You can be fined and/or jailed for failure to do jury duty.

No because it is too late.  You allowed the person to be found guilty already and is awaiting sentencing.  You can make a statement to the judge before sentence is passed down by the judge.
