Yarber v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia
May 27, 1982
291 S.E.2d 780 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

63680.

DECIDED MAY 27, 1982.

Revocation of probation. Baldwin Superior Court. Before Judge Prior.

Hulane E. George, for appellant.

Joseph H. Briley, District Attorney, Frederic D. Bright, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


While on probation for a previous offense, appellant was arrested for shoplifting. This appeal is from the revocation of his probation. We affirm.

Contrary to appellant's contentions, eyewitness testimony implicating appellant in the crime, testimony which was unshaken on cross examination, does meet the "slight evidence" burden the state is required to satisfy in order to secure a revocation of probation. Meeks v. State, 160 Ga. App. 645 ( 289 S.E.2d 324). Since that evidence was sufficient, appellant's contention that his probation revocation depended solely on hearsay evidence is without merit.

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, C. J., and Carley, J., concur.

DECIDED MAY 27, 1982.
