Probation Revocation in Arkansas
Posted on November 6th, 2008 by Administrator
Many first time offenders in Arkansas are sentenced to probation for their criminal offenses. Most of the time, when a person is placed on probation, they are given a set of conditions of their probation. Most of these conditions are fairly simple. These terms usually include: do not break the law, do not use drugs, pay your fines, pay your restitution, etc.
If a probationer violates their probation a warrant may be issued for their arrest. The probation revocation can move swiftly if the prosecutor wishes it to. It is important to retain counsel early on in the revocation process.
When you have your original trial the prosecutor has the burden of proving his case beyond a reasonable doubt. However, a revocation proceeding has a much lower burden of proof.
