California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Wallace, A157757 (Cal. App. 2021):

evidence. Nothing more was required. (See People v. Avila (2009) 46 Cal.4th 680, 703 [testimony from a single competent witness is sufficient proof of any fact].)
Under these circumstances, we uphold the trial court's decision to revoke defendant's probation and reinstate it with a few modified terms, including serving 90 days in jail; refraining from possessing or using marijuana or illegal substances; and enrolling in, paying for, and completing an anger management program. (See People v. Segura (2008) 44 Cal.4th 921, 932 ["During the period of probation, the court may revoke, modify, or change its order suspending imposition or execution of the sentence, as warranted by the defendant's conduct. ( 1203.2, 1203.3.)"].)
