P. v. Jones CA5
Appellant Durward Jones III was found by court trial to be a sexually violent predator (SVP) pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predators Act (SVPA), commencing at Welfare and Institutions Code section 6600. He was ordered to civil commitment for an indeterminate term. Appellant appeals the commitment order, making several evidentiary challenges to the sole expert witness’s testimony and the written evaluation he submitted. We affirm the commitment order without addressing the merits of appellant’s contentions on the basis that any error in admitting the challenged evidence was clearly harmless.
