Can I appeal a decision to deny parole or probation?

Yes, you can appeal a decision to deny parole or probation in Georgia. If you disagree with the results of the parole or probation hearing, you may appeal the decision to the superior court of the county in which the parole or probation hearing was held. A written notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of the denial of parole or probation. In order to appeal the decision, you must prove that the decision was not just or correct. This means you must provide evidence that the decision was wrong or unjust. To do this, you must provide evidence that the application for parole or probation was improperly denied, or that the court failed to follow proper procedures and protocols when making the decision. During the appeal process, you will be given an opportunity to present testimony and evidence in order to make a case for why parole or probation should be granted. If the court finds that you have made a valid argument, it may overturn the decision. There are no guarantees, however, and the court is not obligated to grant parole or probation even if an appeal is filed. The final decision is at the discretion of the judge.
