    Reviewing constitutional challenges to SOLSA under Rule 35(c) before defendant had served minimum six-year term of his indeterminate sentence

    . . . [A] probation revocation order operates not as a determination of guilt or innocence as to the question of whether the defendant violated the terms of his probation, but primarily as a reassessment of the correctness of the original sentence." People ex rel. Gallagher v. District Court, 196 Colo. 499, 502, 591 P.2d 1015, 1017 (1978).
