probation for Anthony on hold – for now, anyway

Excerpt:

It was another newsy day with regards to Casey Anthony.

First, the Honorable Stan Strickland recused himself from the Anthony fraud case in which Casey Anthony plead guilty and was ordered to serve probation. At issue, as you’ve most likely heard by now, is the oversight in the probation orders typed by the court, as well as the interpretation of the orders by the Orange County Corrections.

The wording, in the written order, states there is to be one year of probation. Because the sentence lacked the words “upon release” (from jail) it was not clear when the term of probation should commence. Huh?

Probation is what it is – isn’t it?!! It’s supposed to be an extension of the custodial process, right? Who ever heard of probation happening while an inmate is in jail? Well, perhaps if the inmate is in prison with out the possibility of parole, perhaps then it may be used. Even then, if the inmate is in jail, it sounds like a redundant process, doesn’t it?
