Meanwhile in the real world....

For anyone interested, here is a link to some information about the way parole works in New Jersey Parole Process

The relevant part (bolding mine) However, the Board cannot revoke parole on the basis of new offenses which have not resulted in a disposition at the trial level except that upon application by the prosecuting authority, the Director of the Division of Parole or, in cases of juvenile parolees, the Juvenile Justice Commission, a Board panel may authorize the detention of the parolee and commence revocation proceedings when it is determined that the new charges are of a serious nature, and it appears that the parolee otherwise poses a danger to public safety.

So the way I read that they can't revoke House's parole without a trial for the new charge of 'felony vandalism' unless the deem him a danger to public safety (which they could argue but would be a real stretch I would think). If they did revoke his parole under that clause he would be entitled to a preliminary hearing within 14 days.

House needs to get himself a good lawyer.

(Yes, I am obsessed with this :)
