BTW, I see where you are coming from since they were charged with contempt of court rather than just revisiting the sentence of the original charge.
I see this as an abuse of power by the judge. If the person can't fulfill the terms of the probation then the sentence should simply be revisited.
Very true Jeff. If I violated a judges order, I would expect to have some extra tacked on. Don't know if that is legal or not but again I would expect it. Cheers!
