My fiancee was arrested on a possession posted a bond. A felony probation capias warrant came out a day later. His PO said he would not object to the judge lifting the warrant pending the outcome of the case. To just have our lawyer contact the judge. So Im wondering what role it is the prosecutor is playing in objecting to the lift of the capias. I understand his role in the initial charge which caused the violation which as a result the capias was issued but not understanding his role in the capias. Shouldn’t that be between Probation and Parole, the Judge and our Attorney?
Justin Hunt KCMO Felony Defense Attorney Answer:
Ms. Rogers is correct. The prosecutor represents the people of the state and therefore has a say in whether or not a bond is issued and probation revoked. Your husband should consider finding an attorney; a probation violation can often be remedied by an experienced attorney.
