How have the courts considered appellant's arguments on the grounds that he was a danger to others at the time of his commitment hearing?

We conclude, however, that the evidence here amply supported the trial court's holding, by a preponderance of the evidence (People v. Escobar, 61 N.Y.2d 431, 474 N.Y.S.2d 453, 462 N.E.2d 1171), that appellant posed a danger to himself and others at the time of his commitment hearing even though he had been relatively complacent while confined in various psychiatric and correctional facilities during the period since his arrest. We now address each of appellant's arguments on this appeal.
