The People of the State of New York v. Alphonse J. Oskroba

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's revocation of the appellant's probation, holding that the statutory "opportunity to be heard" was satisfied by the notice, cross‑examination, and the appellant's own testimony, and that the denial of an adjournment did not constitute a denial of due process. Justice Froessel dissented, arguing that the appellant was denied a proper opportunity to be heard because extraneous matters were introduced and his request to call his ill wife was refused.
