Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): the Court of Criminal Appeals held that because “the State failed to present any nonhearsay evidence to establish that D.M.D. was a ‘child’ when she was found in the bedroom with Sams,” a “necessary” element to establish a prima facie case of contributing to the delinquency or dependency of a child or to a child’s being in need of supervision, “the circuit court erred in revoking Sams’s probation.” 48 So.3d at 663. The State petitioned this Court for cer-tiorari review to determine whether the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals conflicts with well settled caselaw holding that a circuit court may consider both hearsay and nonhearsay evidence in determining whether a probationer violated the terms of his or her probation. See Ex parte J.J.D.,778 So.2d 240, 242 (Ala.2000)(<HOLDING>); Ex parte Toney, 854 So.2d 37, 39 (Ala.2002)
