State , this Court held that, among other procedural requirements, the trial court was required to make a written order setting forth the evidence relied upon and the reason for the revocation in order to meet the due process requirements in a proceeding to revoke probation. Since our decision in Armstrong v. State , this Court has addressed and affirmed the written-order requirement. *Page 772 See Ex parte Lawrimore , 441 So.2d 122 (Ala. 1983). . . . This Court . . . continues to hold that Armstrong v. State requires a written order setting forth the evidence relied upon and the reason for the revocation. We reiterate that that holding continues to be the law in Alabama."”
