P. v. McKnight
Timothy McKnight challenges his recommitment as a sexually violent predator (SVP) under Welfare and Institutions Code sections 6600 et. seq.[1] (SVPA, or the Act). He contends the Act denies him equal protection of the law because persons committed under it are treated more harshly than MDO’s (mentally disordered offenders) or persons found not guilty by reason of insanity (NGI’s). The recent case of People v. McKee (2012) 207 Cal.App.4th 1325 (McKee II) is dispositive of McKnight’s claim. We therefore affirm his recommitment.
