P. v. White CA4/1
In 2005, Jermane Terrel White pled guilty to one count of petty theft (Pen. Code, § 484) and was placed on formal probation. However, his probation was revoked following an arrest for new offenses and he was ultimately convicted of additional counts of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211) and petty theft (Pen. Code, § 484) and sentenced to two years in state prison. After serving his sentence, White was hospitalized at Atascadero State Hospital as a mentally disordered offender (MDO), pursuant to Penal Code section 2962. He was initially admitted to the hospital in January 2010.
In December 2017, following extensions of his commitment each year between 2012 and 2017, the District Attorney's office filed a petition to extend White's involuntary treatment another year pursuant to Penal Code sections 2970 and 2972. Following a jury trial, White was found to be MDO and the trial court entered an order extending his commitment another year. White now appeals from that order
