Syllabus

Violation of community control hearsay. Although the rules of evidence are inapplicable to revocation hearings, the admission of hearsay may implicate a defendant's right to confront and cross-examine witnesses. In this case, however, the alleged hearsay evidence is not the only evidence supporting defendant's failure to complete the ordered inpatient treatment. Consequently, the trial court did not err in denying defendant a right to confrontation and his trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance in failing to object to the purported hearsay statement.
