Abstract
In Mercer v. Hopper, the Georgia Supreme Court, in a four-sentence per curiam opinion, held that "[tihere is no right to counsel at a probation revocation hearing in Georgia." Mercer pleaded guilty to, and was convicted of, three charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants and one charge of forgery. He received a five year sentence for forgery and three 12-month sentences for the DUI charges, the latter to run consecutively, but concurrently with the forgery sentence. All sentences were ordered to be served on probation.
