P. v. Wright CA2/8
A trial court may consider criminal conduct in a probation revocation hearing even after an acquittal of the same criminal conduct. (In re Coughlin (1976) 16 Cal.3d 52, 59.) Here, the trial court held a probation revocation hearing prior to defendant’s acquittal, and another judge supplemented the evidence after defendant’s acquittal. Both judges concluded that defendant’s probation should be revoked.
On appeal, defendant Tival Karon Wright requests a new probation revocation hearing, arguing that the procedures employed were improper and that the trial court lacked jurisdiction when it imposed judgment. We find no error and affirm.
