P. v. Clotfelter
After a jury found that defendant Bruce L. Clotfelter is a sexually violent predator (SVP), the court recommitted him to the custody of the state Department of Mental Health for an additional two years.
Defendant appeals and raises the following six contentions: (1) the court prejudicially erred in excluding testimony of two defense witnesses; (2) the court erred in admitting evidence that defendant previously had been committed as an SVP; (3) the court erred by admitting evidence of Atascadero State Hospitals conditional release program; (4) the court erred in refusing defendants pinpoint jury instruction; (5) the court erred in allowing a clinical psychologist at Atascadero to testify as an expert witness regarding castration; and (6) the courts cumulative errors require reversal. Disagreeing with these contentions, Court affirm the judgment.
