Hill would need to petition the judge to allow him to transfer his probation to another jurisdiction. There will be some sort of hearing (depends on the EBR local court rules) and the judge will have a series of questions for the Probation Officer: Is he current with visits to PO, have the fines and court cost been paid, results of random drug screens, any issues, good candidate for transfer, recommendation etc. Judge may have some questions for Hill but normally they base their decision on what the PO says since the PO is closest to the situation, but the judge makes the decision. From what I have heard Hill has been a model probationer.


Would an NFL team assume that the transfer is granted, assuming he would have to request it be changed to a particular jurisdiction, which would be determined after he is drafted.

Exactly, find out what city you are going to and thats the jurisdiction where the probation would be transferred. I've never heard of a blank transfer, you have to show the judge exactly where you are going and for what reason.

The judge could have very easily sentenced him to finish and get his degree at LSU before considering the NFL, that or Jail. Which do you think he chooses? It would probably be the best thing for him in the long run. Make his GPA part of his probation.

Saying all of that, I'm sure they let him transfer his probation because it was reduced to a misdemeanor.

There's about a 0% chance a judge would deny him leave to work. Judge might just terminate prob early. Or it'd be transferred. Apparently getting permission to leave jurisdiction hasn't been a problem all season.

A judge can tell a defendant to make significant progress towards a degree, i.e., stay in school. Been there, done that.

Oh I forgot it was just a misd. Yeah I'd expect prob to be finished or terminated early by the time he'd have to move to his new city

Sounds like it is minor enough to not matter; but still, are NFL GMs gonna have to (discreetly) check with the judge before the draft, if he declares as expected? To be sure he's able to join the team for minicamps, etc? Might be a factor in where he is on teams' boards. Annoyance factor and all.

Glad he got an actual answer after all the harassing. I thought was a better question than most I've seen posted

Terms of his probation could make it very difficult if not impossible to go to NFL. Leaving state requires permission much less travelling all over the country. Not saying Judge Jackson would make it that restrictive but he is still on probation for both offenses and answering to two different judges I believe...

You can leave without permission but you habe to let them know. And why would he say no Hill leaving? Cause itd be go to work or make him not mak thousands.

Actually, the judge could say "OK, take your shot in the NFL, get out of my jurisdiction..." - and sort of wash his hands of the situation like Pontius Pilate.

I also am glad the OP was answered. There are way too many immature folks here that jump down people's throats just because they TRY to appear clever.
Having had experience with a family member that was on probationary one time and had to get permission to leave the state to work, I was interested in the question.
I wish some of you guys would not act like you are more intelligent than others just because you have a higher post count. It's stupid

All you fellows bashing the guys post.......


Please post the year you graduated law school, or your experience w/being on probation.

I don't see how the judge administering his probation could (or would want to) keep the guy from making a living, but I'm not sure how that situation works. My guess is that the folks bashing op don't know either.

I graduated from law school quite some time ago.

My first question. Is Hill on supervised or unsupervised probation. I'm willing to bet it's the latter.

I just pulled up an old article. He's on prob til 2015. Presumably active prob. So with that much time left on it and it really being for two separate convictions I do think he'd have to get it transferred. Whether that affects his draftability, I don't know. It's not so much the prob but the fact that any more screwups will land him in jail that a team would be worried about, IMO.

No. And I'm certain Hill is on supervised probation and has done what he needed to do. High profile case so I doubt the judge terminates outright but he will allowed to transfer the probation.
