As a general rule hearsay evidence is not barred from probation revocation hearings. At a probation revocation hearing, a defendant may be denied the "right to confront and to cross-examine witnesses" if the hearsay evidence before the court is reliable. Commonwealth v. Maggio, 414 Mass. 193, 197 (1993).
