P. v. Steele
Appellant Broderick J. Steele was committed to Atascadero State Hospital (ASH) for continued involuntary treatment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO) pursuant to Penal Code section 2960 et seq.[1] Steele contends that the trial court erred when it refused to instruct the jury that his mental disorder must cause him to have serious difficulty controlling his behavior in order to commit him as an MDO. He also contends that there is insufficient evidence to recommit him as an MDO. We disagree and will affirm the order.
