Heading: substantial evidence of abuse

Text: Winston contends there was not substantial evidence to support the findings that he physically abused D.W. and emotionally abused D.W. and M.W. SRS asserts to the contrary, contending there was substantial evidence to support these findings. As stated above, substantial evidence is such legal and relevant evidence as a reasonable person would consider sufficient to support a conclusion. See Sokol, 267 Kan. at 746. In determining whether there is sufficient evidence, the appellate court may not reweigh the facts or substitute its judgment for that of the agency. 267 Kan. at 746. An agency decision that is not supported by substantial evidence is a ground for relief under the KJRA, pursuant to K.S.A. 77-621(c)(7).
