P. v. McCoy CA1/1
Defendant Vanessa McCoy was placed on probation for three years after pleading no contest to one felony count of causing injury while driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more and admitting the allegation that she caused bodily injury to more than one victim. More than three years later, the trial court extended probation, believing that an intervening six-week period when it was revoked did not count as part of the three-year term. On appeal, McCoy claims, and the Attorney General concedes, that the court lacked jurisdiction to extend probation because the three-year term had expired. We agree and direct the court to discharge McCoy from probation.
