THE PEOPLE v. AARON MEREDITH,
Aaron Meredith appeals from an order committing him to the State Department of State Hospitals (formerly Department of Mental Health) for treatment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO). (Pen. Code, § 2960 et seq.)[1] Appellant claims that the evidence does not support the finding that he received 90 days of treatment within a year of his parole or release date (§ 2962, subd. (c)) and asserts that the MDO certification was not timely (§ 2962, subd. (d)(1)). We affirm.
Procedural History
Appellant suffers from a severe mental disorder, schizophrenia, paranoid type, manifested by delusional beliefs, paranoia, auditory hallucinations, and psychomotor agitation. In 2010 he was sentenced to state prison for carjacking. (§ 215, subd. (a).) Doctor Kevin Perry testified that appellant met all the MDO criteria, that the mental disorder was not in remission, and appellant posed a substantial danger to the community.
