P. v. Bailey CA2/6
A jury determined that Robert Bailey meets the criteria for designation as a sexually violent predator (SVP) under the Sexually Violent Predators Act (SVPA). (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.) The trial court ordered him committed to the Department of State Hospitals. Bailey contends the judgment should be reversed because: (1) the court admitted case-specific hearsay in violation of People v. Sanchez (2016) 63 Cal.4th 665 (Sanchez); (2) the prosecution lacked authority to file the commitment petition; (3) counsel provided ineffective assistance when he did not object to irrelevant testimony; (4) counsel was ineffective when he did not object to a prosecution exhibit; (5) the tolling provision of Penal Code section 3000 violates equal protection guarantees; and (6) the tolling provision violates the prohibition against ex post facto laws. We affirm.
