That's an issue best discussed with defense counsel. Generally entering a guilty plea will result in the prosecutor's office offering a reduced charge and/or sentencing.

If you are on probation you have already been found guilty. Probation is a sentence for being found guilty.

The statement of the rule of law in this case is Subsequent imposition of new conditions or terms to a sentence or order of probation violates a defendant's constitutional right against double jeopa?

The quesion is worded in a very confusing manner. HOWEVER - if I understand it correctly, the question is about a sentence of probation and what future conditions may be imposed on that sentence. If that is the case: A sentence of probation is a sentence imposed AFTER the defendant is found GUILTY of an offense. Certain strict prohibitions and conditions are imposed upon the defendant in return for this lenient sentence of probation. BUT - if the probationer violates these terms and condition he may be subject to further, more stringent, action by the court, up to and including incarceration for the entire term of the original sentence. This is not double jeapordy! This is a case of the defendant spitting in the face of the court which offered him lenient conditions for release into the general community by continuing to commit other offenses, after being found guilty.

If you successfully complete the term of your probation, and all its requirements, the finding of guilty will be removed from the records.

However, even if you successfully complete your probation even though there will be no record of your conviction, the record of your arrest and the charge will still exist.
