PEOPLE v. MOORE Part-I
A jury found true a petition filed by the People to extend the commitment of defendant, Steven Moore, who had previously been adjudged not guilty by reason of insanity (Pen. Code, § 1026.5, subd. (b)(1)). Defendant contends that the trial court's comments about the reasonable doubt standard and its failure to instruct the jury that he had a right not to testify and a negative inference should not be drawn from his failure to testify require reversal of the jury's finding. We disagree and affirm. The facts adduced at the hearing on the petition are not relevant to this appeal.
