Does a probation revocation hearing need to have the same procedural safeguards as a criminal trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Howard, C064350 (Cal. App. 2012):
A probation revocation hearing does not require all the procedural safeguards of a criminal trial. Instead, the procedures should be flexible depending on the factual scenario. (People v. Abrams (2007) 158 Cal.App.4th 396, 400; People v. Buford (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 975, 981.)
