State v. Bellem
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed from a superior court judgment of conviction declaring him to be in violation of his probation and executing four years of his previously imposed suspended sentence. On appeal, Defendant argued there was no reliable evidence for the hearing justice to find he violated the terms of his probation and therefore, the hearing justice acted arbitrarily and capriciously in finding a violation. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court, holding that the hearing justice was well within her discretion in concluding that Defendant violated the terms of his probation by not keeping the peace or being of good behavior.
