1. “The defendant in a probation revocation proceeding is not always entitled to counsel. His right to counsel exists only when due process requires that he be represented. Due process requires he be represented when the complexities of the issues involved in the revocation proceeding mandate assistance of counsel to assure fundamental fairness at the revocation hearing. When due process requires counsel the defendant must be advised of his right to counsel, and in the event he then requests an attorney, one must be appointed to represent him at the revocation hearing.”
