Description:

San Bernardino, California criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Defendant was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)) but found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to Patton State Hospital, but later transferred to Sylmar Health and Rehabilitation Center (Sylmar), with a term of commitment to expire on November 5, 2023.

On June 29, 2023, a petition was filed to extend defendant's commitment, pursuant to section 1026.5, subdivision (b). Defendant's primary therapist at Sylmar opined that, without appropriate supervision, defendant continued to present significant danger to others due to his mental disorder. A jury found the petition true, and the court extended defendant's commitment to November 5, 2025.
