Is my girlfriend likely to have her sentence activated for a probation violation, or will she receive some kind of CRV? (Abingdon, VA)
She got a 10 year suspended sentence in VA for possession of a schII, and subsequently, possession of a firearm by felon in April 2014 (5 yrs each charge, and never been in trouble before or since). Her probation was transferred to NC where she's a resident. In April 2015 she failed a drug test for pot and was referred to TASC. Upon missing a TASC appointment, she was discontinued, and her PO violated her, in spite of the fact that she was in the hospital (he says he couldn't verify her being there) She has records indicating she was indeed there, and even called to reschedule the appointment when she realized she wouldn't make it. VA issued a capias as a result, now she's sitting in jail in NC awaiting transfer to VA.
I realize that her punishment for this will be somewhat discretionary on the part of a judge, but this is her first and only violation, she's terrified, doesn't know what to do, and I don't know how to help her. She obviously doesn't have her admission and discharge papers with her to take to hearing, and the hospital will not release them to anyone but her. We can't afford representation, and I've never felt so helpless in my entire life. I would trade places with her in an instant just so she wouldn't have to go through this.
Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy post... Any insight would be gratefully appreciated.
