P. v. McNeal
Brian Steven McNeal was found incompetent to stand trial (Pen. Code,[1] 1368) on 12 felony counts involving residential burglary ( 459/460), grand theft ( 487, subd. (a)), and receiving stolen property ( 496, subd.(a)). The court ordered McNeal committed to Patton State Hospital for a maximum of three years.
McNeal appeals, contending the court had notice of his opposition to being found incompetent but then ignored the notice and erroneously assessed his mental health based on the opinion of one psychiatrist, rather than two, as required by section 1369, subdivision (a). Court affirm the judgment.
