Summary

Existing law allows the records of a prison, county jail, city jail, or federal penitentiary to be used as prima facie evidence of the fact that a person being tried for a crime has been convicted of a prior crime. This bill would allow specified documentary evidence to be used in a hearing challenging a determination by the Board of Parole Hearings that an inmate is mentally disordered, a commitment proceeding for an individual found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial, a hearing for the commitment of an individual to the State Department of State Hospitals as a sexually violent predator, a hearing to determine whether a person applying for restoration of sanity would be a danger to the health and safety of others due to mental defect, disease, or disorder, or a hearing to extend the commitment of a person to the State Department of State Hospitals, in order to establish the commission of an underlying offense and the details of that offense.
