P. v. Gonzalez
In 2000, after a bench trial, the court found defendant Alejandro Munos Gonzalez not guilty by reason of insanity (NGI) of arson and assault and battery and committed him to the Department of Mental Health (Department) for treatment at Atascadero State Hospital (ASH). (Pen. Code, §§ 451, subd. (d), 242, 243, subd. (a), 1026.5, subd. (a).)[1] Defendant appeals from an order extending his commitment until September 9, 2013. He claims the court erred in failing to advise him of his right to a jury trial, failing to obtain his personal waiver, accepting counsel’s jury waiver, and conducting a bench trial.
We affirm the order.
