Culombe v. Connecticut green
scotus · 1961
2 sentences

2024In other words, as the Court explained, "the mental state of involuntariness upon which the due process question turns can never be affirmatively established other than circumstantially—that is, by inference; and it cannot be competent to the trier of fact to preclude our review simply by declining to draw inferences which the historical facts compel." 367 U.S. at 605 .

2024In part, this is "because the apprehension of mental states is almost invariably a matter of induction, more or less imprecise, and the margin of error which is thus introduced into the finding of 'fact' must be accounted for in the formulation and application of the 'rule' designed to cope with such classes of facts." 367 U.S. at 604 .

1997They have also noted that although such tests are not 100% reliable and could result in an inmate being unjustly disciplined, “the margin of error is insignificant in light of institutional goals” and the State should not be required to provide “all possible procedural safeguards against erroneous deprivation of liberty.” 807 F.2d at 756 .
