P. v. Sumahit
In May 2006 a petition was filed seeking to recommit defendant Frank Romas Sumahit as a sexually violent predator (SVP) under the Sexually Violent Predators Act. (SVPA; Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.) In November 2006 a jury found the petition true. Defendant was committed to Coalinga State Hospital for an indefinite period. On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred prejudicially when it failed to instruct the jury sua sponte on the issue of serious difficulty in controlling sexual behavior. Court affirm the judgment.
