Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral argument in US. v Haymond (for more information about the case reference our post last week) and apparently it went very well.
According to Supreme Court blogger Amy Howe all Justices seemed to side with the registrant, who argued that you can’t be “convicted” for a probation violation for which you receive additional time without the right to a jury trial and having your charges proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
You can read the transcript of the oral arguments here.
Right out of the gate, it seems Justice Sotomayor asks the pertinent question, essentially; can we ‘permit imprisonment by a preponderance of the evidence?’ It seems the answer to that question will likely be NO.
