Can a defendant admit a probation violation and waive the revocation hearing?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, H043523 (Cal. App. 2017):
A defendant may admit a probation violation and waive a probation revocation hearing, "even if his or her attorney disagrees with the decision to do so." (People v. Robles (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 1286, 1290.) A knowing and intelligent waiver is "generally required when a criminal defendant gives up 'any significant right.' " (People v. Trujillo (2015) 60 Cal.4th 850, 859.)
