Does a motion to revoke the grant of probation of a defendant who embezzled from her employer constitute a violation of the terms of her probation?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Barrera, A159466 (Cal. App. 2020):

Defendant was properly advised of her rights, knowingly and intelligently waived them, and admitted she had violated the terms of her probation as alleged in the motion to revoke. In light of the fact that defendant was on felony probation on embezzlement charges when she violated the terms of her probation by engaging in new and significant embezzlement from her employer, the court did not err in terminating defendant's prior grant of probation. (People v. Sandoval (2007) 41 Cal.4th
