Carman v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the revocation of Carman’s probation and conditional release after finding that the State presented sufficient competent evidence that he had been discharged from required sex-offender treatment without successful completion. It held that hearsay is admissible in a violation-of-probation proceeding when supported by competent evidence, and that the probation officer had sufficient firsthand knowledge to support the violation finding. The Court declined to consider Carman’s ineffective-assistance claims because they were raised for the first time on appeal.
