In re Commitment of Gavin

Defendant was committed under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act. Several years later, the circuit court found probable cause to believe that defendant no longer met the criteria for SVP and the matter proceeded to a jury. The jury concluded that he remained an SVP and defendant appealed. The appellate court reversed, finding that the State did not prove that he was “substantially probable” to re-offend as is required by the SVP Act. (TAILOR and C.A. WALKER, concurring)
