In re Commitment of Brown

Respondent was found by jury to be a sexually violent person and court committed him to DHS. Respondent was not deprived of evidence of equal quality with State's evidence, as Respondent presented expert testimony of psychologist who had multiple personal interviews with Respondent, which State did not have. Court did not err in allowing DOC's clinical psychologist to perform additional evaluation of Respondent. Court within its discretion in denying conditional release, as Respondent had no support system, had antipathy toward treatment, and was age 53 with no employment skills. (HUTCHINSON and HUDSON, concurring.)
