2. “Finally, both the probation officer's testimony and the treatment counselor's report were hearsay and, because the probation officer neither prepared nor was the custodian of the treatment counselor's report, the report was not subject to the business record exception. Because this hearsay evidence was the only evidence Appellant was terminated unsuccessfully from the treatment program for willfully failing to participate, it is insufficient to support a finding of violation of probation.”
