P. v. Fekadu
In December 1995 Berihu H. Fekadu pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to two counts of a forcible lewd act upon a child (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (b)(1)) and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1)). In January 1996 the trial court found Fekadu had not recovered his sanity and committed him to the Patton State Hospital for seven years under section 1026.
