If probation was supposed to stop in * but didn't got sent back to person for violating and new charge in * why didn't it stop
Probation typically doesn't "stop" if there are violations or new charges. Here's why it might extend or restart:
- Violation: If you violated probation terms before *, the court could extend or modify probation.
- New Charge: A new charge can result in probation being revoked and restarted after sentencing.
- Court Action: Only the court can terminate probation, so it might remain active until officially ended.
To understand your situation, you'll need to review the probation terms in your case or consult with an attorney. Would you like help finding court records or legal assistance?

- The new charge in * might have paused or restarted probation.

However, probation violations and resentencing are not considered double jeopardy because they are part of the same case. Resentencing for a violation is not a new prosecution but a continuation of the original sentence.
