Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sexually Dangerous Persons Act
Respondent was committed under Sexually Dangerous Persons Act, and upon his application, DOC's team of evaluators recommended conditional release. Court erred in granting State's motion to appoint independent psychiatrist to examine Respondent, and in denying Respondent's request to appoint his own independent psychiatrist. Jury found Respondent remained subject to commitment, and thus violated due process. (CATES and WELCH, concurring.)
