Description
1 In WIS. STAT.ch. 51 recommitment proceedings, the burden is on the government to show by clear and convincing evidence "that there is a substantial likelihood, based on the subjects individual treatment record, that the individual would be a proper subject for commitment if treatment were withdrawn." See WIS. STAT.Ƨ 51.20(1)(am) and (13). In this appeal from an order extending the commitment of James P.G. for one year, James argues that the testimony presented in his case fails to satisfy this burden. This court disagrees. There is sufficient evidence to show that James is incompetent as it relates to his ability to keep taking his psychotropic medications if his commitment expired. We affirm.
