What is the standard for certifying an allegation of sexual assault in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Catlett, F077204 (Cal. App. 2019):
"Ascertaining whether this standard is satisfied does not require examination of the entire record, independent assessment of the credibility of witnesses, or weighing of the evidence. Instead, the relevant question is whether there is any evidence in the record that could support the conclusion reached by the [prison]." (Superintendent v. Hill, supra, 472 U.S. at pp. 455-456.) We find the standard satisfied in this case.
