P. v. Luers
Appellant Derek Luers committed a sex offense involving a minor and was sentenced to state prison. After serving his sentence, the Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) determined that he met the criteria for treatment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO) and recommended that he be confined to the Department of Mental Health (DMH) as a condition of parole. (Pen. Code, 2962.)
Appellant filed a petition requesting that the trial court overturn the determination of the BPH. ( 2966, subd. (b).) The trial court found that he met the statutory criteria beyond a reasonable doubt, certified him as an MDO and ordered him committed to the DMH. Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the trial court's finding that he represents a substantial danger of physical harm to others. Court affirm.
