Smith v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to operating a motor vehicle after having his license forfeited for life. On the same day, the trial court placed him on home detention under the supervision of a community-corrections program in January 2010. Defendant appealed, arguing that the introduction of certain hearsay evidence at the hearing revoking his community-corrections placement violated his due process right to confrontation. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court, holding that the hearsay evidence introduced at the hearing was substantially trustworthy, and therefore, Defendant's due process right to confrontation was not violated by the admission of the evidence.
