Conservatorship of B.W. CA6
After a jury found appellant B.W. to be gravely disabled within the meaning of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act) (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 5000 et seq.), the trial court reappointed respondent Public Guardian for Santa Clara County as conservator of appellant. On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred by: (1) allowing him to be called as witness by the public guardian in violation of his rights to equal protection, (2) failing to instruct the jury on how to properly evaluate expert testimony, and (3) permitting the jury to consider case-specific hearsay testimony from an expert witness.
For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the judgment.
