PEOPLE v. McKEE PART - II
Richard McKee appeals an order involuntarily committing him for an indeterminate term to the custody of the State Department of Mental Health (DMH) after a jury found him to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) within the meaning of the Sexually Violent Predators Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.) (the Act). McKee contends the order should be reversed because: (1) his indeterminate commitment pursuant to the Act, as amended in 2006, violated his federal constitutional rights to due process of law, against ex post facto laws, and to equal protection under the law; (2) the evidence is insufficient to support the finding he is an SVP; and (3) the trial court erred by refusing his proposed modification of a jury instruction.
