Question
I recently went to court on 10/07/09 for an early termination of probation review, and the Judge advised me that I have to pay back my co-defendant's restitution before I can get off of probation. When I went to see my PO on Wed., he advised me that the only money that is showing in their system is the rest of my restitution, nothing about my co-defendant's. I called the Judge's office and spoke with her assistant and she advised me that they had no way of knowing how much I owe, that whatever the PO says I owe, I need to pay that. My question is, if I pay what the PO has in his system and I get termination papers, can the courts put me back on probation and make me pay my co-defendant's money?
Answer
| Restitution is joint and several liable, meaning no one get |
