P. v. Rose
Ronald Rose was determined by a jury to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) and committed by the court to the custody of the California Department of Mental Health under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVPA) (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.). On appeal, he claims that he was denied due process and a fair trial as a result of instructional error and the admission of unreliable hearsay evidence. He also asserts that the SVPA violates the ex post facto clause and the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution. Court affirm the order of commitment.
