State v. Baker

Defendant appeals a judgment extending her probation from one year to five years, arguing, among other things, that the trial court abused its discretion by ordering the extension without a hearing and without determining that the purposes of her probation were not being served. The state asserts that the case must be remanded to the trial court because, in its view, the record does not demonstrate the basis for the court’s order. We conclude that the record is sufficiently developed and that the trial court abused its discretion. Accordingly, we reverse the court’s order.
