People v. Hall

Court denied Defendant's petition for discharge or conditional release upon finding defendant was still a sexually dangerous person. Record supports court's finding, as State's clinical psychologist expert testified that Defendant had paraphilic disorders that had existed for more than 1 year, and that Defendant had not made sufficient progress in treatment to reduce his risk to reoffend. It  was province of trial court to determine weight to be afforded to witnesses' testimony. Court explicitly accepted State's expert's testimony over defense expert's testimony that Defendant did not suffer from a paraphilic disorder. (CARTER and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
