Is a defendant's mental health condition in remission?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Van Pham, H043926 (Cal. App. 2017):
the defendant continue to have a severe mental disorder? Is the disorder in remission? Does the defendant continue to represent a substantial danger of physical harm to others? ( 2972, subd. (c).) A defendant's condition a year earlier is relevant but not dispositive of these questions." (People v. Cobb (2010) 48 Cal.4th 243, 252.)
