Is Defendant's failure to attend the court-ordered substance abuse program a minor violation of his probation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Conner, C080267 (Cal. App. 2017):
Lastly, defendant asserts his violations of probation were "minor and non-violent in nature as well." Defendant's failure to attend the court-ordered substance abuse program is not a minor violation. His related relapse into methamphetamine use illustrates the serious nature of the violation. In any event, these violations, however characterized, were sufficient grounds in themselves to revoke probation. (People v. Jones, supra, 224 Cal.App.3d at p. 1316.)
