What is the effect of a probation officer's recommendation that a defendant should not be placed on reporting probation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bonilla, B225177 (Cal. App. 2012):
The trial court was not required to adopt the probation officer's recommendation of non-reporting probation (People v. Welch (1993) 5 Cal.4th 228, 234 (Welch)), and we cannot conclude that the court's decision to retain defendant on reporting probation was an abuse of discretion.
