Revocation of Parole Based Upon Uncharged Assault Okay/Presence of Assault Victim at Revocation Hearing Excused

The Third Department determined petitioner’s parole was properly revoked even though the victim of the uncharged assault which triggered the revocation did not testify at the hearing:

Petitioner argues that he improperly was denied the opportunity to confront and cross-examine the victim.  While a “strong preference” for confrontation and cross-examination exists in parole revocation proceedings, the victim’s absence nevertheless may be excused “upon a specific finding of good cause” (…see Executive Law § 259-i [3] [f] [v]…).  Here, the victim refused to testify and could not be located despite extensive efforts by parole officials to do so.  Accordingly, the Administrative Law Judge properly excused her absence and considered other evidence regarding the assault … . Contrary to petitioner’s assertion, the fact the he was not indicted for any crimes stemming from the underlying assault did “not preclude a revocation of parole for the same conduct”… . Matter of Coston v NYS Division of Parole, 515013, 3rd Dept 11-21-13
