State v. Washington
Annotate this CaseDefendant Shurron Washington sought review of an adjudication of a probation violation after a hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing justice found that Defendant had violated the terms and conditions of his probation, and the hearing justice revoked the suspension of a ten-year sentence that had previously been meted out. On appeal, Defendant contended that the hearing justice erred in adjudicating him to be a probation violator because, in Defendant's view, the record raised "too many questions" about the reliability of the identification of him as the perpetrator of an alleged attack. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the hearing justice did not act arbitrarily or capriciously when he declared that Defendant had violated the terms and conditions of his probation.
