Devon D. Dokes, Jr. v. State of Indiana

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that where defendant did not argue that he was not on probation at the revocation hearing, he could not raise the claim on appeal
• noting that on review of probation revocation, “we will look to the evidence most favorable to the State and neither reweigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of witnesses.”
• evidence sufficient to support trial court’s determination that defendant had violated probation by committing a new criminal offense
• standard of proof for probation violation is preponderance of the evidence; indeed, due to lesser probation revocation evidentiary standard, a finding of guilt is not a necessary precursor for finding probation violation based on new criminal offense
• “Because of the difference between the burden of proof required to convict someone of a crime and the burden of proof required to revoke probation, the court could revoke probation after finding [defendant] not guilty based on the same evidence.”
• “Because of the difference between the burden of proof required to convict someone of a crime and the burden of proof required to revoke probation, the court could revoke probation after finding [defendant] not guilty based on the same evidence.”
