Listen to this article

Roosevelt Bennett was charged with attempting to possess a firearm as a felon, bail jumping, and providing false information on a firearms-dealer notification form. He appeals from an order committing him to institutional care following the trial court’s determination that he was not responsible for his crimes. Bennett also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion to vacate the commitment order. Bennett claims that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when it: (1) denied his request for a supplementary mental examination; and (2) denied his postconviction motion without considering a subsequent report by a psychologist who opined that Bennett could be placed on conditional release.

We affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
