P. v. Fekadu
In 1995 Berhu Fekadu pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to two counts of forcible lewd acts on a child (Pen. Code,[1] 288, subd. (b)) and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1)). The court ordered him committed to the California Department of Mental Health ( 1026). In July 2006 the People filed a petition for extension of commitment ( 1026.5). In December the court found that by reason of a mental disorder, Fekadu represented a substantial danger of physical harm to others. It granted the petition and extended Fekadu's commitment for two years. Fekadu appeals. Court affirm.
