Rotimi Salu v. New York State Justice Center for the Protection of People With Special Needs
DueProcess JusticiabilityDoctri
Does it violate due process of law for a state agency to routinely adjudicate accusations of wrongdoing on hearsay evidence alone, denying the accused workers the ability to face their accuser even when it is not clear that an actual accuser even exists, and if an accuser exists, the credibility and veracity of such accuser?
question presented in this case is: Does it violate due process of law for a state agency to routinely adjudicate accusations of wrongdoing on hearsay evidence alone (in over 95 percent of its adjudicatory hearings), denying the accused workers such as Petitioner here the ability to face their accuser even when it is not clear that an actual accuser even exists, and if an accuser exists, the credibility and veracity of such accuser?
