People v. Therrian
California Court of Appeal
[CERTIFIED FOR PARTIAL PUBLICATION*]
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion
BLEASE, Acting P. J.
Defendant Michael Therrian appeals from an order of recommitment entered after a jury determined he remains a sexually violent predator under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et. seq. (SVPA)).
In the published portion of this opinion, 2 we conclude that when an expert’s opinion regarding the likelihood of defendant reoffending is not based solely upon the results of a Static-99 test (which assigns a risk assessment of reoffending), a Kelly 3 hearing on the admissibility of expert’s testimony regarding the test is not required.
