Facts
Scarpelli (defendant) was convicted of armed robbery. His sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation. While on probation, he was arrested during the course of a burglary. His probation was revoked without a hearing. He appealed, arguing among other things that his due process right was violated because he was not afforded his right to counsel during his revocation process.
