Probation Revocation Hearing / Battery by Prisoner

Result: Probation Not Revoked; Battery Charge Later Dismissed

Handled By: Attorney Michael Covey

Summary: While in custody for minor conduct, the client was attacked by another inmate. Despite this, the State sought to revoke probation, alleging the client was responsible for the altercation. Attorney Covey demonstrated the lack of injuries, deficiencies in the jail’s investigation, and the absence of credible evidence against the client. The Administrative Law Judge found the client credible and declined to revoke probation. Following that ruling, the District Attorney’s Office dismissed the battery by prisoner charge.
