Nonprobationable Offenses and Offenders. In general, the granting or denying of

probation is discretionary with the judge; however, in some circumstances, the judge can-

not grant probation. Nonprobationable offenses include: aggravated murder; murder; rape;

felonious sexual penetration; any offense committed while armed with a firearm, bomb,

firebomb, or other destructive weapon or device; attempting or actually carrying a con-

cealed firearm or bomb, firebomb, or other especially dangerous device upon an aircraft.

(The first offense of carrying a concealed firearm or bomb, etc. is probationable if it does

not involve an aircraft. The second such offense is probationable only upon shock proba-

tion or supershock probation.)

Some types of offenders are not eligible for probation regardless of their offense. These

include persons classed as repeat offenders or dangerous offenders. In addition, persons

sentenced to actual incarceration are not eligible for probation. Further, persons convicted

of aggravated vehicular homicide or vehicular homicide are not probationable where any of

the following conditions apply: the person was previously convicted of aggravated vehicu-

lar homicide, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs; the person accumulated

12 points under the motor vehicle violation point system within one year of the date of the

offense of aggravated vehicular homicide or; the person was driving under suspension or

under the influence of alcohol or drugs when he committed the offense of aggravated ve-

hicular homicide or vehicular homicide.
