View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in not determining whether representation by counsel was necessary for defendant in his probation proceeding; while a probationer did not have an unqualified right to counsel in such a proceeding, trial court should have discerned under Ala. R. Crim. P. 27.5(a)(3) and Ala. R. Crim. P. 27.6(b) whether defendant had such a right.

Wilson v. State, CR-06-0381, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 25, 2007, Decided
View this case - free
