Probation Under Supervision

The court placed Mr.
Everson on probation under
the supervision of the
Charlottesville Office of
Virginia Department of
Probation and Parole.

Mr. Hogshire and Mr. Dezio
also asked the court, "that if
the defendant be of good
behavior and fulfill the
obligations of his probation
until Dec. 12, 1973, he shall be
discharged from such
probation and this charge shall
be dismissed and shall not
constitute a record of
conviction against the
defendant."

However, "upon
violation of a term or
condition, the court may enter
an adjudication of guilt and
proceed as otherwise
provided," the Virginia Code
provisions stipulate.

"It is a common procedure
after we review a case," Mr.
Dezio said, "to ask for a
change of the charge from a
felony to a misdemeanor to
make a defendant eligible for
probation."
