1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Trummel v. Mitchell“There is no question in this Court's mind whether the burden of proof is a preponderance of the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, or clear, cogent, and convincing [evidence] that Mr. Trummel has engaged in knowing and willful course of conduct directed at specific persons within Council House, both staff and residents which is seriously alarming, annoying, harassing. It is detrimental to those people and it serves no legitimate or lawful purpose.”
