California Court of Appeal

Denial of petition for conditional release under Welfare & Institutions Code section 6608, made by defendant incarcerated at Atascadero State Hospital as a sexually violent predator, is reversed as there was no evidence supporting the trial court's implicit finding that defendant had failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that he was not likely to reoffend.
