SHOCK PROBATION IS NOT JUSTICE !
SHOCK PROBATION IS UNAPPEALABLE POWER GIVEN TO THE JUDGE THAT DECREES THAT YOUR CHILD OR LOVED ONE'S RIGHT TO LIFE WAS LESS THAN ANY LAWFULLY PRESCRIBED SENTENCE.
Shock Probation is used in ONLY 6 states:
Kentucky
Texas
New York
Indiana
Missouri
Ohio
Shock probation allows a sentencing judge to reconsider the convicted offenders original sentence to prison. It is presumed that a short term of imprisonment will SHOCK the offender into changing their criminal behavior. An offender can apply for shock probation (usually in 30 to 120 days) by coming before the judge with the request for shock probation.
This law allows a judge to make a mockery of the value of life of those killed by drunk drivers by not making the convicted offender serve the prescribed sentence according to the sentencing guideline. The victims, therefore, who have lost a loved one to this PREVENTABLE crime not only become victims of the drunk driver but victims of "shock probation".
