In re Commitment of Hooker

Respondent was adjudicated a sexually violent person. Court properly allowed State's expert witnesses to testify to certain past conduct other than acts underlying his rape and sexual assault convictions, as it pertained to their evaluations of Respondent. "Rap sheets" expert cited for arrest history are types of documents upon which expert in field would reasonably rely. Multiple arrests are relevant as bases for experts' diagnoses of personality disorder with antisocial features. Court expressly told jury to not consider prior arrests as substantive evidence. (JORGENSEN and BURKE, concurring.)
