P. v. McCoy CA4/3
In 2013, Steven McCoy was committed for an indeterminate term to the Department of State Hospitals (DSH) under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVPA). (See Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.) In 2018, McCoy petitioned the superior court for conditional release. (§ 6608.) After an evidentiary hearing, the court denied the petition, finding by a preponderance of the evidence it is likely McCoy “will engage in sexually violent criminal behavior, due to his diagnosed mental disorder, under supervision and treatment in the community.” (§ 6608, subd. (g).)
McCoy appeals from the trial court’s order. He argues insufficient evidence, numerous evidentiary errors, and cumulative prejudice. We affirm the order.
