A credible sworn statement is sufficient on its own where no other evidence is available
What the document says“The affidavit or sworn testimony described in subparagraph (A)(i) shall be sufficient evidence to vacate a conviction or expunge an arrest under this section if the court determines that-- ``(i) the affidavit or sworn testimony is credible; and ``(ii) no other evidence is readily available.”
The affidavit or sworn testimony of a service provider or clinician is declared sufficient evidence, on its own, to vacate a conviction or expunge an arrest, on two findings: that it is credible, and that no other evidence is readily available.
What the document actually says“The affidavit or sworn testimony described in subparagraph (A)(i) shall be sufficient evidence to vacate a conviction or expunge an arrest under this section if the court determines that-- ``(i) the affidavit or sworn testimony is credible; and ``(ii) no other evidence is readily available.”
The sworn paper alone is enough proof. That holds if the judge trusts it. It also must be the only proof at hand.
Many people who were forced have no papers to show. This rule means one trusted account can be enough. Then the record can be wiped out.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
