P. v. Clark
Defendant appeals from a trial court order for commitment to the State Department of Mental Health pursuant to a jury verdict finding that he is a sexually violent predator (SVP) within the meaning of the Sexually Violent Predators Act (the Act). Defendant contends that (1) the evidence was insufficient to support that he had been convicted of at least two separate sexually violent offenses, (2) the trial court erred by overruling his relevancy and Evidence Code section 352 objections to the admission of evidence that he was HIV positive and had hepatitis C, and (3) the People engaged in misconduct by arguing that he would be released if the jury did not commit him as an SVP. Court affirmed the judgment.
