If you successfully complete the term of your probation, and all its requirements, the finding of guilty will be removed from the records. If you do NOT successfully complete the entire terms of your probation, the guilty sentence will immediately be activated and you will be found Guilty and serve the remainder of your sentence.

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.
