P. v. Crooks
William G. Crooks appeals from an order extending his commitment to Patton State Hospital (Patton) as an individual found not guilty by reason of insanity. (Pen. Code, 1026.5; all undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.) He argues that the trial proceedings violated the statute's express guarantee of entitlement to the rights under the federal and state Constitutions for criminal proceedings. ( 1026.5, subd. (b)(7).) Crooks also contends there is insufficient evidence to support the required finding that as a result of a mental disease, defect, or disorder, he has serious difficulty controlling his dangerous behavior. Court affirm the order.
