1. “"Taking into consideration all the instant circumstances, we find that the hearsay testimony was not sufficient to meet the 'some' evidence standard of Superintendent, Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Walpole v. Hill , 472 U.S. 445 , 105 S.Ct. 2768 , 86 L.Ed.2d 356 (1985). The record offers nothing to indicate the reliability of the accusation, and we find no worthwhile corroboration. . . . Finally, the record offers no reason why testimony of [the inmates] was not presented to the hearing officer."”
