C.A. 2nd;
B267353
The Second Appellate District reversed a judgment committing a defendant as a sexually violent predator and remanded. The court held that the People’s expert psychologists were improperly allowed to testify at trial regarding inflammatory details of the defendant’s unrelated convictions and unproven allegations that he committed other acts of sexual violence, all based upon case-specific facts gleaned from inadmissible hearsay documents such as police and probation reports and the defendant’s hospital records.
