Text: [¶ 8] A district court's decision to revoke probation and impose a sentence is discretionary and will not be disturbed unless the record shows a clear abuse of discretion. Mapp v. State, 929 P.2d 1222, 1225 (Wyo. 1996). A district court has broad discretion in sentencing matters, including decisions to grant or revoke probation. Trujillo v. State, 2002 WY 56, ¶ 12, 44 P.3d 943, 947 (Wyo. 2002). We review the district court's decision to determine whether or not the court could reasonably conclude as it did. Mapp, 929 P.2d at 1225. All that is necessary to uphold a district court's decision to revoke probation is evidence that it made a conscientious judgment, after hearing the facts, that a condition of probation was violated. Id. However, the district court's decision must be based upon verified facts and the defendant must be afforded due process. Anderson v. State, 2002 WY 46, ¶ 25, 43 P.3d 108, 118 (Wyo.2002).
