Can I appeal a decision to deny parole or probation?

Yes, you can appeal a decision to deny parole or probation in Michigan. The Michigan Criminal Procedure Code allows an individual to request a review of a parole or probation decision after the decision is made. The appeal process begins with the individual filing an appeal document with the court. The document should include a statement of the reason for the appeal, the individual’s name, the date of the decision to deny parole or probation, and the name of the judge who made the decision. After the appeal document is filed, an appeals court judge will review the decision and, if necessary, hold a hearing. At the hearing, the person appealing will have an opportunity to present any evidence or arguments that support their position, including testimony from witnesses. The judge will consider all the evidence and arguments presented and issue a written decision. If the judge decides in favor of the person appealing, the decision to deny parole or probation may be overturned. If the judge decides against the person appealing, however, the decision to deny parole or probation will stand and the individual must follow the conditions of their denial. It is important to remember that filing an appeal does not guarantee that the denial of parole or probation will be overturned. It is also important to note that appeals will only be considered if the individual has followed all applicable legal procedures.
