People v. Glee CA4/2

BACKGROUND

In April 2021, defendant pled no contest to injuring a cohabitant in violation of

Penal Code section 273.5, subdivision (a). He was given a suspended mid-term sentence

of three years in state prison and placed on felony probation for 24 months with a

requirement he participate in a 52-week domestic violence program. One condition of his

probation was that he not violate any law.

Two months later, defendant was taken into custody after another domestic

violence incident involving the same cohabitant and again charged with a violation of

Penal Code section 273.5. The People petitioned for revocation of probation and remand

of defendant. Following a hearing on the petition held pursuant to People v. Vickers

(1972) 8 Cal.3rd 451, the court found defendant violated his probation and that he was

not amenable to continued probation supervision. It imposed the previously suspended

three-year sentence and found defendant entitled to total credits of 598 days consisting of

299 custody and 299 conduct credits. Defendant appealed and we appointed counsel to

represent him.
