Who will decide if I am guilty of violating parole or probation?
When it comes to evaluating whether someone has violated their parole or probation in North Dakota, the decision is made by the court. The court will review the facts of the case and the evidence that has been presented and make a determination. The court will take into consideration the circumstances of the alleged violation and how it relates to the original sentence and terms of probation or parole. The court may decide that the violation was not serious enough to warrant additional court intervention, or the court may decide to impose additional consequences. This could include increased restrictions or more intensive supervision by the parole or probation officer, or even revocation of the parole or probation and the possibility of having to serve out the original sentence. If the court decides to move forward with revoking probation or parole, the individual in question is given due process to discuss the allegations in front of a judge before a decision is made. During this process, the accused may be able to explain the circumstances and explain why there was a violation. The individual has the right to have a lawyer present to advocate on their behalf. In the end, the court will make a decision to either modify the terms of parole or probation, or revoke it altogether.
