Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision to revoke the Defendant's probation (para 4).

Reasons

  • Per M. Monica Zamora, with Jonathan B. Sutin and Cynthia A. Fry concurring, the Court found the State met its burden of proof by presenting evidence of the Defendant's serious probation violations. The Court noted that the State was not required to charge or convict the Defendant of all alleged offenses to prove a probation violation. The decision to revoke probation was upheld based on the principle that proof of a probation violation need not be established beyond a reasonable doubt but must merely convince a reasonable and impartial mind of the violation (para 3).
