Section 34-20C-16 - Prior conviction as prima facie evidence of participation in illegal drug market.
Universal Citation: SD Codified L § 34-20C-16 (2020)
34-20C-16. Prior conviction as prima facie evidence of participation in illegal drug market.
Any person against whom recovery is sought who has a criminal conviction under state or federal drug laws is estopped from denying participation in the illegal drug market. Such a conviction is also prima facie evidence of the person's participation in the illegal drug market during the two years preceding the date of an act giving rise to a conviction.
The absence of criminal drug conviction of a person against whom recovery is sought does not bar an action against that person.
