State v. Bruton
Ohio Court of Appeals
Decided September 30, 1985No. 49520PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtAnn McManamon, J.
Appellant James Bruton appeals a judgment of the court of common pleas recommitting him to Dayton Forensic Center (“Dayton”), a maximum security mental hospital.
In July 1979, Bruton was found not guilty of felonious assault by reason of insanity and was committed to Lima State Hospital. In December 1981, he was transferred to Dayton. Since his acquittal, numerous commitment hearings have been held to determine whether he should be transferred from a maximum security mental hospital to a less restrictive setting. The court has consistently ruled that Bruton should be recommitted to Dayton.
