- Mo. Supreme Court Rules 'Sexually Violent Predators' Standard Is 'Clear and Convincing' Evidence
The Missouri Supreme Court rejected a bid by two men to overturn their determinations as "sexually violent predators," ruling that it was constitutional to use a "clear and convincing evidence" standard to make such a decision. Under Missouri law, individuals convicted of certain sex crimes can be committed to state mental facilities after they have served their criminal sentence if they're deemed to be a sexually violent predator. That definition, according to state statute, envelopes "any person who suffers from a mental abnormality which makes the person more likely than not to engage in predatory acts of sexual violence if not confined in a secure facility.

- Rejecting the clear and convincing evidence standard for proof of incompetence.
The Supreme Court ruled in Cooper v. Oklahoma that requiring the "clear and convincing" evidence standard to prove competency to stand trial was an impermissible violation of the defendant's right under the Due Process Clause not to be tried if incompetent because it greatly increased the chance of an erroneous decision. The Supreme Court correctly struck down Oklahoma's heightened statutory standard for proving incompetence. This standard virtually guaranteed the conviction of many more defendants who were more than likely incompetent. This would have violated due process.
