2022 Probation Violation Hearings CLE Archive
Product description:
Presented by:Chris O'Connor, Mutlnomah Defenders Inc.
Description:
Not every client will fail at probation, but for many of those that get wrapped up in a probation violation process the PV can be more important than the original trial or sentencing. Defense attorneys need to treat PVs like a trial and be ready to aggressively litigate things like confrontation, hearsay, motions to suppress and jurisdictional issues.
This presentation will educate and remind lawyers about probation conditions at sentencing, how to prepare clients to be on probation, a review of current case law on confrontation, a discussion of challenging telephonic testimony and will encourage a reexamination of the warrant/affidavit process in lots of older probations under the new Berglund case.
