You can discuss his case with his attroney, assuming he gives the lawyer permission.

No one can say what THIS judge will do.

What sometimes happens when a judge gives a person a break, and they mess up again, they often end up in jail or prison.

Will this judge do that?

Don't know, can't say.

But, your hubby's lawyer probably knows something about that judge, ask him or her.

If anyone tells you differently, they're mistaken, guessing, or lying.

In theory he can face the full sentence of his original offense for the violation of his probation, as well as face the penalties associated with his DUI. In reality, it's likely he'll do little or no additional time for the VOP but will have to face the first time offender penalties for the DUI which could include at least two days jail time.

It sounds like he needs help, and he really needs to avoid alcohol. You might start this process by removing every drop from the house - INCLUDING rubbing alcohol, cough medicine and sleep aids (just to be entirely safe from that aspect).
