What rights do I have during a parole or probation revocation hearing?
In Wisconsin, you have several rights during a parole or probation revocation hearing. One of your rights is to have an attorney present during the hearing. You also have the right to remain silent if you choose, to call witnesses to testify on your behalf, to cross-examine witnesses, and to present evidence. Additionally, the state must prove that you violated your parole or probation conditions beyond a reasonable doubt. You also have the right to request that an interpreter be provided if you do not understand or speak English. The judge must provide you with the evidence against you and a written statement of your rights, and must explain the consequences of any decisions made at the hearing. Additionally, you have the right to appeal any decisions made at your hearing. However, you must file the appeal within 15 days of the decision in order for it to be considered. Finally, you and the judge should also determine whether or not you are able to return to parole or probation status if that is your goal. This may require a treatment plan or other portfolio of evidence that can show the court that you are capable of returning to parole or probation status.
