Supreme Court of Alabama

Ex Parte Chase Andrew Dunn. (in Re Chase Andrew Dunn v. State of Alabama)

June 6, 2014163 So. 3d 1003

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that the Court of Criminal Appeals’ decision conflicted with Goodgain because the probation revocation was based solely on hearsay evidence, and therefore reversed and remanded the case. The Court affirmed that hearsay may not be the sole basis for revoking probation and sent the matter back for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
