[1971 c.743 §44; 1977 c.380 §5; 1979 c.885 §1; 1981 c.711 §1; 1983 c.800 §5; 1991 c.669 §8; 1999 c.97 §2; 2005 c.337 §1; 2010 c.89 §9; 2011 c.708 §40; 2011 c.724 §2; 2017 c.634 §6; 2019 c.329 §2]

Notes of Decisions

Since dispositional hearing under former version of this section was final stage in criminal proceeding which had determined that accused was mentally ill when he engaged in criminal acts, review was confined to determining whether trial court findings were supported by substantial evidence. State v. Orans, 56 Or App 681, 642 P2d 1197 (1982)

Dispositional judgment of guilty except for insanity is not criminal judgment imposing sentence. State v. Gile, 161 Or App 146, 985 P2d 199 (1999)

§§ 161.325 to 161.351

Notes of Decisions

Under former version of these sections, Psychiatric Security Review Board could, at initial dispositional hearing, order only commitment to mental hospital or conditional release, so it had no authority to make independent redetermination of dangerousness of defendant or to order her discharged on basis of such redetermination. Adams v. Psychiatric Security Review Bd., 290 Or 273, 621 P2d 572 (1980)

Notes of Decisions

A juvenile court adjudication of whether or not a child committed acts which would be a criminal violation if committed by an adult must necessarily include an adjudication of all affirmative defenses that would be available to an adult being tried for the same criminal violation.
