Does violation of probation DWLS always get a jail term?
Great question, and one that I’m sure folks ask in a variety of forms, and for all sorts of offenses. There’s a big difference, however, between the probation officer filing a motion to revoke, and actually being revoked. If revoked, a defendant is sentenced to jail (or for a felony revocation: prison), but there are several sanctions available to a judge other than revocation. This is true not just for DWLS, but for all offenses up to and including first degree felonies. I need to blog soon about probation violations in general.
