What is the limitation of a defendant's ability to amend or amend a probation report and police report?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Casillas, A126029, No. FCR264211 (Cal. App. 2010):

or she may present witnesses to counteract or correct any portion of the report." (People v. Bloom (1983) 142 Cal.App.3d 310, 320.) Defendant did not present any evidence to contradict the allegations against him, or assist the court in its sentencing. Therefore, we hold that the court's use of the probation report and police report was reasonable, and the evidence presented validates the court's imposition of the gang-related conditions. (See Pen. Code, 1204.)
