New Hampshire v. Kay
Annotate this Case
Defendant Anthony Kay appealed a superior court decision that found he violated his probation and imposed jail time. On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred by finding he violated his probation and that the violation was based on his failure to pay child support. In 2008, Defendant pled guilty to two felony counts of failing to pay child support. At the time of sentencing, he owed nearly $70,000 in two separate support cases. The superior court sentenced Defendant to two concurrent terms of two to five years at the state prison and placed him on probation. He was ordered to make weekly payments and he did while he was employed. Defendant admitted that he stopped reporting to his probation officer after he became unemployed and that he never sought to modify his support payments at any time. Upon review of the record and the applicable legal authority, the Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision.
