Johnson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 6, 2002 · Hazouri, Polen
808 So. 2d 1276; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 2370; 2002 WL 342156 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Johnson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals the revocation of his community control order and his resulting sentence to six years Florida State Prison. The only evidence introduced to support the alleged violation of community control was hearsay. While hearsay evidence is admissible in such hearings, it is insufficient alone to establish a violation. Brown v. State, 659 So.2d 1260 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); Adams v. State, 521 So.2d 337 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988); and Milbry v. State, 722 So.2d 834 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998). Reversed.

POLEN, C.J., HAZOURI and MAY, JJ., concur.
