Conservatorship of K.P.
Annotate this CaseK.P. appealed from a judgment entered following a jury trial on the petition by the public guardian for reappointment as K.P.'s conservator under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPSA). The Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err by instructing the jury as to the definition of "gravely disabled" in CACI No. 4000. Furthermore, even if the trial court had committed error in its instructions to the jury, any error would be harmless as a matter of law in this case because the evidence was overwhelming that K.P. was unwilling or unable to accept treatment.
