Involuntary Commitment – Sufficiency of Evidence
By: Derek Hawkins//September 8, 2021//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Marathon County v. T.A.T.,
Case No.: 2019AP1709
Officials: SEIDL, J.
Focus: Involuntary Commitment – Sufficiency of Evidence
Travis appeals from an order for involuntary commitment under WIS. STAT. ch. 51. He argues Marathon County failed to meet its burden to prove that he was dangerous by showing that he “[e]vidence[d] a substantial probability of physical harm to himself … as manifested by evidence of recent threats of or attempts at suicide or serious bodily harm.” See WIS. STAT. § 51.20(1)(a)2.a. We agree with the circuit court that the County met its burden to prove that Travis was dangerous. We therefore affirm.
