P. v. Padilla
In this appeal and writ proceeding, Juan Padilla challenges an order committing him to the custody of the Department of Mental Health after a jury found he was a sexually violent predator (SVP). He raises several contentions of error arising from the fact that he was not personally examined by a defense expert. He also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the SVP finding. Court reject his arguments and affirm the order.
