Court of Appeals of Washington August 2, 2010, No. 63717-7-I (State v. Reanier)

Cox, J.

¶1 An accused may not lawfully agree to a term of commitment for treatment following acquittal by reason of insanity where the term exceeds that authorized by law.1 Where an accused agrees to an unauthorized term of commitment, that agreement does not cure a facial defect in an order of commitment that shows, without further elaboration, that the court exceeded its statutory authority.
