People v. Rial

Defendants’ appeals were among the 114 transferred to our Court on May 28, 1975. 394 Mich 776 (1975). After our decision in Guilty Plea Cases, 395 Mich 96; 235 NW2d 132 (1975), we ordered that the defendants’ appeals be jointly submitted and argued to consider the applicability of GCR 1963, 785.7 to probation violation proceedings. We conclude that subrule does not apply.

Defendant Rial pled guilty to possession of marijuana in 1973 and was placed on probation for two years. Defendant Beene pled guilty to attempted larceny in a building in 1972 and was also placed on probation for two years.
