Court of Appeals of Washington September 25, 2008, No. 24691-4-III (State v. Savala)

Sweeney, J.

¶1 A sexually violent predator must make a prima facie showing that he no longer meets the statutory criteria — that his condition has changed — to be entitled to a new commitment hearing. The legislature amended a statute (RCW 71.09.090) to provide that certain demographic factors alone will not support this required showing.
