Criminal Court
Sexually Dangerous Persons Act
Citation
Case Number: 
2016 IL 119162
Decision Date: 
Thursday, May 19, 2016
District: 
5th Dist.
Holding: 
Appellate court affirmed; remanded with directions.
Justice: 
THOMAS

The Sexually Dangerous Persons Act does not contemplate the appointment of an independent psychiatric expert for the State in a recovery proceeding under the Act. Thus, court erred in allowing State to have an independent psychiatric expert evalue Respondent and testify at trial in a recovery proceeding. (GARMAN, FREEMAN, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
