P. v. Johndrow
In April 2007 a jury found defendant Glenn Arthur Johndrow was a sexually violent predator (SVP) within the meaning of the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVPA; Welf. and Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.), and the court committed him to the Department of Mental Health (DMH) for an indeterminate term.[1]
Defendant appealed, contending that (1) he had a due process right to testify over his counsel’s objection, and (2) recent amendments to the SVPA permitting indeterminate commitments were unconstitutional pursuant to principles of federal and state due process and equal protection.
In July 2009 we filed our opinion rejecting defendant’s contentions and affirming the commitment.
