Still posting vids on his new channel which was listed as part of his probation violation. Classic Jeremy.
No surprise he has violated supervision 9 times in the past. If he was on 48 months of probation and now is deemed ineligible, does that mean hes gonna be locked up for 4 years?
He was only sentenced to 18months in jail with 48 probation. However per the applicable statue in Florida the judge generally has 3 basic options
After such hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community control or place the probationer into community control. If such probation or community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and proven or admitted, unless he or she has previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have originally imposed before placing the probationer or offender on probation or into community control.
However, where it gets spicy with Jeremy is that whole Violent Felony Offender of Special Concern bit. See that's not just word salad or some random administrative designation it's a very specific legal thing in Florida, and it could, although it's unlikely, be a serious problem for Jeremy. According to the applicable statues again:
The court shall not dismiss the probation or community control violation warrant pending against an offender enumerated in this paragraph without holding a recorded violation-of-probation hearing at which both the state and the offender are represented.
(e) If the court, after conducting the hearing required by paragraph (d), determines that a violent felony offender of special concern has committed a violation of probation or community control other than a failure to pay costs, fines, or restitution, the court shall:
1. Make written findings as to whether or not the violent felony offender of special concern poses a danger to the community. In determining the danger to the community posed by the offender’s release, the court shall base its findings on one or more of the following:
a. The nature and circumstances of the violation and any new offenses charged.
b. The offender’s present conduct, including criminal convictions.
c. The offender’s amenability to nonincarcerative sanctions based on his or her history and conduct during the probation or community control supervision from which the violation hearing arises and any other previous supervisions, including disciplinary records of previous incarcerations.
d. The weight of the evidence against the offender.
e. Any other facts the court considers relevant.
On the one hand Jeremy has some things in his favour here.
a) His current conviction is for a relatively minor, and non violent crime (he only qualifies as a VFOSC due to his previous noncery conviction).
b) Technical violations are generally a minor thing, and more often lead to modified probation rather than full revocation.
What weighs against Jeremy here IMO is
a)The bit about present conduct. His violation is for not deleting his youtube and yet he's gone out and made a new one where he's shitposting about his PO and claiming he shouldn't have to delete it anyway due to muh 1st amendment, didn't understand the deal etc
b)The fact that in addition to the YT channel shit he failed to comply with the monitoring requirements, and refused his PO access to his house
c)His long history of probation violations.
Now on balance I think it's fairly unlikely they'll find him a danger to the community, but it is
possible, and hilariously if the judge does find him one, for any reason, they no longer have discretion in how to deal with the violation, they get precisely one option:
