P. v. Thompson CA2/4
In October 2001, appellant Gregory Thompson entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity (NGI) to one count of assault with intent to commit a specified sex crime. (Pen. Code, § 220.) Appellant was committed to the California Department of Mental Health and admitted to Patton State Hospital (Patton), with a maximum commitment date of January 2, 2017. (§ 1026.) He now appeals from an order following a jury trial to extend his commitment under section 1026.5, subdivision (b). Appellant challenges the admission of excerpts of his medical records as more prejudicial than probative. He also contends the trial court erred in permitting case-specific hearsay evidence in support of expert opinion of his disability, in violation of People v. Sanchez (2016) 63 Cal.4th 665 (Sanchez). We affirm.
