In re the Commitment of Canada

In 2014, a jury found Respondent to be a sexually violent person, and he was committed to custody of Department of Human Services. In 2017, court held a probable cause hearing, and concluded there was probable cause to believe that Respondent remained a sexually violent person and there was no probable cause to believe that Respondent made sufficient progress in treatment to be conditionally released. Although Respondent has made some progress in treatment, he failed to demonstrate that he made sufficient progress as required under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act.There was no probable cause to believe that Respondent made sufficient progress in treatment to be conditionally released. (KNECHT and CAVANAGH, concurring.)
