Re: Violation of parole

I understand that these things are hard for someone like yourself to explain if you have not had a lot of experience with the legal system. I have a couple questions. It probably be easier if you just called. I wouldn't charge you for talking to you. Was he originally convicted of burgulary and was that the crime he was on parole for? What was it they said he did to violate his parole? Did he have a trial or did he plead guilty? How long ago did all of this happen? If you click on my name you will see my phone number.
