Wisconsin Petition for Early Discharge from Probation 973.09(3)(d) is a legal action that allows individuals on probation to seek early discharge from probationary status before their probationary period has ended. The petition is used to request early discharge from all or part of a sentence of probation imposed by the court. This process is often referred to as a "90-day rule" because the petition must be filed within 90 days of the judgment and sentence of probation. There are two types of petitions for early discharge from probation in Wisconsin: one for felonies and another for misdemeanors. The petition must be filed in the county in which the probationer was sentenced and the person filing the petition must bear the burden of proof. The court will consider the petition and make a decision based on the facts and circumstances of the case.
