P. v. Dooley
Appellant is a juvenile sex offender whose confinement was extended after a jury determined that, if released, he would be physically dangerous to the public due to a mental disorder that causes him to have serious difficulty controlling his behavior. (See Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 1800, et seq.) He contends his jury was misinstructed on the law and its verdict is not supported by substantial and reliable evidence. He also contends he was denied equal protection because he was not afforded the same procedural protections that are provided to other inmates who are subject to involuntary commitment. Finding no basis to disturb the judgment, we affirm.
