U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2191
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Arnold and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Commitment pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4246. The district
court did not err in discounting defendant's independent expert's
evaluation regarding defendant's future dangerousness; the district court
did not shift the burden of proof; the district court's decision and
weighing of the experts' testimony was not based on the amount of time the
experts spent with defendant but, rather, on the weakness of defendant's
expert's analysis.
