People v. DC
Client was facing 4-15 years on a violation of probation for a Class 1 - Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver. Halfway through the probation our Client was arrested on another Felony Narcotics case in Wisconsin. The Client plead guilty in order to get out of jail in Wisconsin and got probation based on the advice of a Public Defender. Unfortunately, the Client didn't realize that by pleading guilty to a felony in Wisconsin, the Cook County Probation would be violated. We conferenced the case with the Judge, and were able to keep our Client out of prison. As long as our Client gets into a drug treatment program, including random drug testing, with a clear plan for success, the Judge will recommit him to probation.
