Barber was given 24 months probation in Sept. on two felony convictions.

Jat you are correct, he was on juvenile probation until 18 and adult for his current felonies...The two systems need to start communicating instead of hiding these felons as little thugs in the juvenile system. Unseal the records and mouths of the juvenile counselors so they can communicate with adult probation. Not saying this would have prevented what is already done but at least adult probation would have been aware of this thug was preforming or not performing on juvenile, instead the juvenile probation can only tell adult probation that he has a juvenile record...thanks ole Bev Joker Purdue for her chest thumping press conference that adult probation now has juvenile records...political bs adult probation only knows they have a juvenile record...thanks again Bev continue the good work can't wait for this governor to move on to a felony record herself
