On the other hand, sometimes there are typographical/paperwork/time calculation errors and inmates are released erroneously in which case they can be required to come back and finish up their sentence. IMO the prosecution should ask for a clarification hearing (if they have not already done so) concerning the issue of whether or not Casey served probation in jail. Specifically, the people who would have been supervising any probation, enforcing conditions of probation, meeting with probationers on probation, etc. should be asked whether or not Casey served probation in jail - regardless whether or not Casey or her defense team THOUGHT she was serving probation during her pretrial incarceration and/or bamboozled court/jail staff into believing Casey had served probation in jail.

Always only my own opinions
But when a prisoner is erroneously released and then sent back to jail, there's no argument that the prisoner has actually completed the sentence. Here, it appears that the probation department actually sent probation officers out to visit Casey at jail, to "verify her residence," :banghead: etc. So it sounds like she actually did complete the sentence of probation, albeit in an environment in which violation of probation was nearly impossible.
If the defense team had merely THOUGHT she completed probation, I agree with you that she could still be made to complete probation. But it looks like she ACTUALLY completed probation.
So when is Baez going to have to face the music for his behavior in court? Perry said there would be sanctions. Will we even know if and when it happens? Wish Perry would stick him in jail on charges so he could be stopped from staying at 5 star hotels while brokering deals.
Who knows? I am starting to doubt that HHJP is going to follow through on his threat.
If the media is doing its job, we should find out when (if) it happens.
Not sure if this has been asked before but if Casey were to do interviews and book deals down the road and still points the finger at GA and talks about molestation, wouldn't it be almost necessary for them to file suit against her for defamation, slander or something? Would a wrongful death suit work to exonerate GA?
It wouldn't be "necessary" for GA to sue her, but he could. Of course, he'd have to prove that she was lying, which would be tough to do.
GA and CA don't have standing to file a wrongful death suit against Casey, and in any event how would that prove GA didn't molest Casey??
Have there ever been any other cases of inmates serving their probation while in jail, that any of you know of? I just would be curious if this is a normal thing (even though it makes no sense to me)? Would whoever overrode Judge Strickland's orders and decided to send a probation officer to visit FCA in jail have thought they were following normal procedure?
I've never heard of it, but media reports quote DOC officials as saying that they do have procedures for supervised probation of current inmates.
I should have asked this question here. Opps.
Would failing to show up for the Zenaida Gonzalez deposition be a breech of her probation here?
If she's on probation at all, which I doubt, failing to show up for the depo would be a violation of a court order (if she is subpoenaed), which should, in turn, be a violation of probation.
Any idea what the previous charges that Judge Strickland deferred adjudication on might mean for KC? Since he has ordered her to serve 1 year probation, is there anything in these other charges that could add more time in jail or additional probation, restitution, etc.? TIA!
Only if she violates her probation--which, IMO, she has already successfully completed.
