Mannarelli v. State

Guy Mannarelli was found not guilty of first degree premeditated murder by reason of insanity and was subsequently committed to the Department of Children and Families. He appealed his order of commitment to this court, arguing the insufficiency of the evidence as well as the facial invalidity of the order. This court later rejected his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence but remanded the cause to the trial court to include specific factual findings supporting its conclusion that Mannarelli was eligible for commitment.
