How can I appeal a parole or probation revocation decision?
In New Hampshire, if you are unhappy with a parole or probation revocation decision, you have the legal right to appeal it. To appeal a decision, you must take certain steps. First, you should submit a written request for an appeal to the parole board or court. This request should include the reasons why you feel the decision was wrong. Your request must be sent within 15 days of the decision being made. Next, you should attend a hearing to argue your case. You should bring any evidence you have to support your appeal to the hearing. At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to explain why you disagree with the initial decision and why you believe it should be reversed. Once the hearing concludes, the parole board or court will make a decision. Depending on the outcome, you may be able to take additional steps to appeal the decision. For instance, if the court upholds the original decision, you may be able to file an appeal in New Hampshire’s Supreme Court. It is important to remember that there are no guarantees when appealing a parole or probation revocation decision. However, by taking the steps outlined above you are giving yourself the best chance of having your decision reversed.
