One of my clients had a bit of a mishap and ended up with new charges, among them DUI and aggravated assault. A violation was filed. She was found guilty of some of the new offenses. She was then found guilty of the violation. She was given a sweetheart of a deal: revoked and reinstated with an extension on her probation and 10 days to serve on weekends. The first weekend she showed up high. They warned her. The next weekend she smuggled a pain pill into jail in her belly button and they caught her crushing and snorting it. They held her the remainder of the 10 days and asked me for another violation report, which I submitted and a warrant has been issued, with no bond on it. She called today and asked if it was ready, I told her it was. She then asked about bond and I told her there wasn't one. She then asked why not. I explained that she had a second chance on probation, blew it, then they gave her a great deal and a third chance and she blew that too. I told her judges tended to take that sort of thing seriously. So then she says, "But don't they understand I'm not a criminal, I need help?"
