Extension; sufficiency of the evidence
The County filed a petition to extend Henry J.V.’s mental commitment. An evidentiary hearing on that petition was held, and the court granted the petition. Orders were entered extending Henry’s commitment and his involuntary medication and treatment. Henry argues on appeal that the evidence presented at the evidentiary hearing was insufficient to support an extension of his commitment because there was insufficient evidence proving that he would be dangerous if treatment were withdrawn. I disagree, and affirm the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
