Jones v. State
Jones v. State
Opinion of the Court
Cynthia Doris Jones appeals from an order revoking probation with consequent adjudication of guilt and sentence on the original conviction, or imprisonment for a term of 5 years, and also appeals from a judgment holding her in contempt of court, for which no separate sentence was imposed.
We hold the revocation of probation order was improper because of procedural deficiencies. The record shows that when the application for revocation came on for hearing the defendant was not present and the matter was not then heard, and the affidavit submitted as the basis for the revocation was dismissed. When the matter again came on for hearing, that affidavit was not refiled, and no new or
The order revoking probation and the adjudication of guilt and sentence of imprisonment are reversed, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings thereon. On the appeal from the judgment of contempt, that judgment is affirmed and the cause remanded for imposition of sentence thereon.
It is so ordered.
