BOSTON v. THE STATE.
47920.
STOLZ, Judge.
Revocation of probation. Bartow Superior Court. Before Judge Davis.
In this parole revocation case the defendant had been put on twenty years' probation for public drunkenness, aggravated assault, assault with a knife, and robbery by force. One of the conditions of probation was that the defendant "violate no local, State or Federal laws and be of general good behavior." Revocation of the probation was sought on the ground that the defendant had been arrested on September 4, 1972, on charges of cutting another with a knife and drawing a knife.
At the revocation hearing, witnesses for the state offered testimony to the effect that the defendant hit one Larry West in the face with his fist, drew a knife, and chased West into a service station. Witnesses for the defendant offered testimony to the effect that West was the aggressor, that it was West who cut the defendant with a knife, and that the defendant did not have a knife. At the conclusion of the evidence, the trial judge entered an order revoking 1 year and 5 months of the defendant's probation. The defendant appeals. Held:
In this case, the evidence, while conflicting, is sufficient to show that the defendant violated at least one of the conditions of his probation. The trial judge did not abuse his discretion and his judgment is affirmed.
David N. Vaughan, Jr., District Attorney, for appellee.
J. R. Cullens, for appellant.
SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 12, 1973 -- DECIDED MARCH 1, 1973 -- REHEARING DENIED MARCH 20, 1973 -- CERT. APPLIED FOR.
