Ind. Decisions - "State appeals court denies man’s probation gripes"

The Anderson Herald-Bulletin had a report this weekend by Neal McNamara on the COA opinion issued Friday, Nov. 16th in the case of Dion T. Wright v. State of Indiana (NFP). From the story:

The Indiana Court of Appeals released a decision denying an Anderson man’s appeal that the Madison County Superior Court 1 erred when it ruled he should go to jail for a probation violation. * * *

The appeals court found that Wright’s rights were not violated because, “courts may admit evidence during probation hearings that would not be permitted in a full-blown criminal trial,” read the decision, quoting state statute.
