• holding that because “the Governor’s reversal of parole ... was not supported by any evidence that Hayward’s release would threaten public safety ... the Governor’s reversal of his parole thus violated his due process rights”
• finding that prisoner’s many prior arrests which occurred thirty or more years ago do not support conclusion that prisoner is a danger to society
• rejecting the Governor’s reliance on unchanging factors as “some evidence” that a prisoner is unsuitable for parole
• Governor’s reversal of the board’s parole grant deprived petitioner of a constitutionally protected liberty interest
• “The principle that state law gives rise to liberty interests that may be enforced as a matter of federal law is long-established.”
• Governor’s reliance on the unchanging factor of prisoner’s motive for committing the crime violated prisoner’s due process rights
