P. v. Jessop CA4/3
Defendant Douglas Samuel Jessop was on felony probation for numerous counts arising from a violent incident with his parents. The district attorney filed a probation violation petition, alleging defendant had failed to register in a batterer’s treatment program. The trial court granted the petition, revoked defendant’s probation, and sentenced him to five years in state prison. But because the evidence does not reflect that defendant was ever ordered to enroll in or complete the program by a specific date, there is not substantial evidence from which to find he willfully violated the terms of his probation. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
