(This summary is temporary, while we research the case.)
This is a case about the amount of fact finding that a court must perform before revoking an individual's probation. In 2015, the individual probationer was brought before the Oakland District Court for a probation status hearing to determine whether the probationer was making appropriate restitution payments. During the hearing, the Court did not seek or introduce findings on probationer's finances. Instead, the Court expressed disbelief that the probationer did not have more income, revoked his probation, and sent him to prison. The court failed to determine his employment status, earning ability, and financial resources. Probationer then appealed.
