Description
The issues involved in this case are: what quantum of proof is required by the People in a probation revocation proceeding where the probationer has been charged with, but not convicted of, another criminal offense; was the evidence produced by the People at the hearing insufficient to prove the defendant guilty of the alleged subsequent theft; and did the trial court err in admitting evidence of a similarity between the explanation used by the defendant at the probation revocation hearing and that used by him when he was arrested for the offense to which he pleaded guilty. The defendant, Glenn Crowell, was placed on probation for 6 months by the circuit court of Williamson County following a plea of guilty to a charge of theft of less than $150. One of the conditions of his probation was that he should not violate any laws of the State of Illinois or any ordinance of any city or village therein during said probation. However, during his probation he was arrested and charged with theft of less than $150. After a hearing, an order was entered revoking his probation, and he was sentenced to the Illinois State Farm at Vandalia for a period of 6 months. He appealed from this order to the appellate court, which affirmed the trial court. (People v. Crowell (1971), 1 Ill. App.3d 868.) We granted leave to appeal.
