State v. Murray, 22 A.3d 385

Murray was adjudicated on probation for 1996 child molestation convictions and later allegedly violated conditions by moving to New York without approval.
The probation condition required Murray to remain in Rhode Island unless the court or Probation Counselor approved otherwise.
New York refused to supervise Murray's probation, and Murray subsequently ceased Rhode Island residence in 2006.
A March 9, 2007 violation hearing was held, with multiple continuations through May 15, 2007, where Murray was found in violation of probation.
The hearing court vacated the suspended sentence and ordered Murray to serve the full nine-year term, with credit for time served.
Murray appealed pro se, arguing various flaws in the violation proceeding and his original trial, but the Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the judgment.
