P. v. Coble CA3
Defendant Roger Coble, a mentally disordered offender, appeals his involuntary commitment to the State Department of Mental Health. He argues the trial court violated his constitutional right to a jury trial by failing to personally advise him and obtain his personal waiver of that right. He also argues insufficient evidence supported the trial court’s extension of his commitment. We agree with defendant’s first argument, and therefore need not consider his second. Accordingly, we reverse.
