State v. Geter
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the trial court's judgments revoking Defendant's probation entered more than one year after Defendant's term of probation had expired, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
The trial court concluded that good cause existed to revoke Defendant's probation despite the expiration of his probationary period. Defendant appealed, arguing that the "good cause" found by the trial court failed as a matter of law to satisfy N.C. Gen. Stat. 15A-1344(f)(3). The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court (1) possessed the jurisdiction to revoke Defendant's probation after his term of probation had expired; and (2) did not abuse its discretion in determining that good cause existed for the revocation of Defendant's probation after his term of probation had expired.
