What is the scope of a court's discretion to revoke, revoke or terminate a defendant's probation?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Dubose, B275409 (Cal. App. 2017):

We begin our discussion with the April 6, 2016, hearing. We agree with both parties that the trial court possessed broad discretion to modify the terms and conditions of defendant's probation when it revoked and reinstated probation at that hearing. Section 1203.2 permits a trial court to modify, revoke, or terminate probation upon a finding of a probation violation. ( 1203.2, subd. (a).) This includes broad discretion to add new, delete old, and modify existing conditions of probation. (See People v. Bolian (2014) 231 Cal.App.4th 1415, 1420-1421 (Bolian).)
