DEFENDANT’S PROBATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REVOKED ABSENT A HEARING OR AN ADMISSION (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing County Court, determined defendant’s probation should not have been revoked absent a hearing or an admission:

“A court may not revoke a sentence of probation without finding that the defendant has violated a condition [there]of . . . and affording [him or her] an opportunity to be heard (see CPL 410.70 [1]). The statutory requirements may be satisfied either by conducting a revocation hearing pursuant to CPL 410.70 (3) . . . , or through an admission by the defendant of the violation, coupled with a proper waiver of [his or her] right to a hearing” … . Here, as the People correctly concede, defendant never admitted to violating his probation and the court never conducted a revocation hearing. People v Ayotunji A., 2019 NY Slip Op 05916, Fourth Dept 7-31-19
