P. v. Koivisto CA2/6
Tauno Koivisto appeals an order determining him to be a mentally disordered offender (MDO) and committing him to the Department of Mental Health for involuntary treatment. (Pen. Code, § 2962 et seq.) We affirm.
On August 31, 1999, Koivisto pleaded guilty to burglary and robbery. The two criminal offenses concerned Koivisto approaching a man in a Los Angeles hotel parking garage, choking him, and then taking his wallet and telephone. As a result of the assault, the victim received hospital examination for injuries to his head and neck. The trial court sentenced Koivisto to a 20-year prison term; he was paroled in June 2016, and then committed as an MDO.
