Second Circuit Dissent Over Supervised Release Revocation Where Defendant Cannot Confront Accuser

New York man covicted of armed robbery is sentenced to 100 months' imprisonment plus five years of supervised release, during which he cannot commit a new crime. Man commits more crimes, including allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend. But when she refuses to testify at his supervised release revocation hearing, the court relies on her signed statemet to police and revokes his supervised release. Man: that doesn't seem right. District court: it's right, and here's a 28-month sentence. Second Circuit (over a dissent): Seems right. Dissent: A man was sentenced to federal prison without an indictment, without the ability to confront his accuser, without a trial, and without being found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. None of this seem right, even if our circuit precedent says it is.
