The resident may be represented by another resident only under the following circumstances:
The reasons for denying a resident's request to call witnesses, or offer documentary or physical evidence shall be stated in writing in the B.R.C. Hearing Report. The resident may submit a written statement from any witness requested by the resident who is not permitted to attend the hearing.
The Chairperson shall present a summary of the informant information to the resident at the hearing. Such a presentation may, however, be foregone in cases where disclosure of the information in any greater detail than that which is contained in the O.B.R. itself would create a substantial risk of disclosing the identity of the informant.
The Chairperson may consider informant information and base the findings in 103 CMR 431.09(5)(a) on information which is limited to oral or written hearsay evidence. The B.R.C. shall not be required to interview the informant in person.
The evidence relied upon for the guilty finding and the reasons for the sanction shall be set out in specific terms.
