Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York July 26, 2001 (In re Manhattan Psychiatric Center)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Ellerin, J.

We take the opportunity in this case involving the application of “Kendra’s Law” to explore the parameters of that statute.

Appellant is a 24-year-old man who was sent to the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center following a CPL article 730 finding that he was incompetent to stand trial on felony charges related to striking his father in the eye with a bottle.
