STATE v. PLATT

No. 42413-1-I.

984 P.2d 441 (1999)

97 Wash.App. 494

STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Daniel Gordon PLATT, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

September 20, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jason Saunders, Seattle, for Appellant.

Seth Aaron Fine, Snohomish County Pros. Atty., Everett, for Respondent.


AGID, A.C.J.

Daniel Platt appeals the trial court's order denying his petition for conditional release from Western State Hospital after he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Although the issues Platt raises are technically moot because he has now been released, we will decide one of them. The question of which party bears the burden of proving that a petitioner may be conditionally released is an issue of public interest which is likely to recur.
