In the Matter of the Civil Commitment of: Gary George Spicer. MN Civil Commitment
Gary George Spicer was civilly committed as a sexually dangerous person (SDP) and a sexual psychopathic personality (SPP). This was based on convictions dating back to 2005, as well as incidents that didn't result in prosecution.
On appeal, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that the district court's findings of fact lacked particularity and did not adequately demonstrate the district court's consideration of the factors relevant to determining whether appellant satisfies the criteria for commitment as an SDP or an SPP. For that reason, the appeals court remanded the case to Sherburne County District Court.
No. A13-2120 (Minn. Ct. App. Aug. 18, 2014).
Please see the original opinion for the court's exact language.
