Is a defendant eligible for probation?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Egle, C057778 (Cal. App. 7/17/2008), C057778 (Cal. App. 2008):

"All defendants are eligible for probation, in the discretion of the sentencing court [citation], unless a statute provides otherwise." (People v. Aubrey (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 279, 282.) Here, neither party contends a statute precludes probation.
