|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Commonwealth v. Packard Anchor | green | “suspicion and conjecture are not evidence and are unacceptable as such.” | 6 |
| 2 | Commonwealth v. Black | green | “a prima facie case consists of evidence, read in the light most favorable to the commonwealth, that sufficiently establishes both the commission of a crime and that the accused is probably the perpetrator of that crime.” | 6 |
| 3 | Commonwealth v. Packard | green | “in determining the presence or absence of a prima facie case, inferences reasonably drawn from the evidence of record that would support a verdict of guilty are to be given effect, but suspicion and conjecture are not evidence and are unacceptable as such.” | 5 |
A red or yellow flag on a member means the underlying case has negative treatment: for those, check the case page before relying on the passage.
