Harper v. State
Harper v. State
Opinion
"Only slight evidence is required to authorize the revocation of a sentence being served on probation. Waters v. State, 80 Ga. App. 104 (55 SE2d 76); Allen v. State, 78 Ga. App. 526 (51 SE2d 571).” Faulkner v. State, 101 Ga. App. 889 (115 SE2d 393).
"When, after due notice, the trial judge conducts a hearing upon the question of revocation of a probationary sentence, he is not bound by the same degree of evidence as in the first instance, but has a wide discretion. Where there is some evidence to support the judgment revoking such probationary sentence, the judgment will be affirmed by this court.” Atkinson v. State, 82 *546 Ga. App. 414 (61 SE2d 212).
Nor is it necessary to show that the defendant has been charged or convicted of a crime for the acts constituting the violation of probation. Wright v. State, 88 Ga. App. 868 (78 SE2d 61); Rowland v. State, 124 Ga. App. 495 (184 SE2d 494); Dickson v. State, 124 Ga. App. 406 (184 SE2d 37).
The evidence was amply sufficient to authorize the revocation of probation in the present case.
Judgment affirmed.
