I have a friend who received probation for a misdeamnor battery, pled guilty, received probation and then was arrested for a low level felony the following week. He is currently serving five months in county jail for the low level felony. What will the county of the first charge - the misdemeanor battery - do? He thinks he might have to serve up to a year in county jail, since the second one is a felony. I don't think so, because he had already started the probation program, which included already completing his 40 hours of community service, starting the counseling and and paying $200 of the $750 in fines. Does anyone have specific answers? I am only looking for information, not "don't do the crime if you're not ready to do the time" type response. I just want practical knowledge, not judgments. Thank you! This all occured in California, if that helps anyone answer.
