In re Detention of Carpenter

After bench trial, court entered judgment finding Defendant a sexually violent person subject to commitment under Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act. The Act does not require appointment of evaluator on behalf of a person subject to a petition until after probable cause hearing and in preparation for trial. Court was within its discretion in granting State's motion to extend time to answer Defendant's requests to admit, as Assistant Attorney General took responsibility for inadvertence and error in not timely responding to motion, and no evidence of wrongdoing or prejudice shown.(PIERCE and LIU, concurring.)
