Idaho v. Ross
Annotate this CaseTalon Ross appealed a district court’s order revoking his probation and imposing his previously suspended sentence for a robbery he pleaded guilty to in 2011. In 2019, Ross was charged with violating the terms of his probation by allegedly committing petit theft and injury to a child. At an evidentiary hearing on the probation violation allegations, the district court found that, despite Ross introducing a judgment of acquittal for the petit theft charge, the State had proved by a preponderance of the evidence that Ross had committed petit theft. Additionally, the district court found by a preponderance of evidence that Ross had committed injury to a child. The Idaho Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s order revoking Ross’s probation and imposing his sentence. While the Idaho Supreme Court determined the district court did not err in concluding Ross committed the crime of petit theft by a preponderance of the evidence, district court erred in concluding Ross committed injury to a child by a preponderance of the evidence. Judgment was reversed and the matter remanded for a new probation violation hearing.
