How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that the inmate’s criminal offense alone cannot establish his current dangerousness “unless the record also establishes that something in the prisoner’s pre- or post-incarceration history, or his or her current demeanor and mental state” supports an inference of dangerousness
- “[I]t is evident that the Legislature considered the passage of time— and the attendant changes in a prisoner’s maturity, understanding, and mental state — to be highly probative to the determination of current dangerousness.”
- “[T] he relevant inquiry is whether some evidence supports the decision of the Board or the Governor that the inmate constitutes a current threat to public safety, and not merely some evidence confirms the existence of certain factual findings.”
