In re the Detention of Ronald Tripp
On appeal from his commitment as a sexually violent predator (SVP) the respondent argues: (1) the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss because confinement resulting from the violation of special sentence does not constitute being “presently confined” for a sexually violent offense; and (2) the district court erred in allowing hearsay evidence of an alleged sex offense that he denied committing and which was ultimately dismissed.
