re: Advocate columnist Matthew Harris believes Hill is done at LSU

quote:

He can and possible did violate his probation but once he's plead to a charge I think that's it. If the judge revokes probation he would serve time for the carnal knowledge thing

This is where discretion comes in. The judge doesn't have to revoke his probation, or she might. In deciding whether or not to revoke it, may she consider all the facts that surrounded his original plea deal -- the whole case -- or just the plea deal itself?

Obviously, I'm not proposing double jeopardy. I'm just saying there is discretion in how the court can handle this within the context of the plea deal. If he goes to jail, it would be carnal knowledge, not for sexual assault or, for that matter, punching a guy at a bar.
