P. v. Pascali
Defendant Nick Bartolomeo Pascali appeals from an order committing him to the California Department of Mental Health for continued treatment pursuant to the Mentally Disordered Offenders (MDO) Act. (Pen. Code, § 2970.)[1] Defendant argues that the judgment must be reversed because he did not personally waive the right to a jury trial and, alternatively, if the MDO statutory scheme does not require a personal waiver, then it violates his constitutional right to equal protection of the law. We reject the arguments and affirm.
