In re B.O.T.
Annotate this CaseOn December 24, 2013, the State filed a petition for commitment against B.O.T. After a hearing, the district court ordered B.O.T. committed to the Montana State Hospital for ninety days and that medication could be involuntarily administered, concluding that B.O.T. was unable to care for his basic needs, admitted to having a serious mental illness, and was unable to demonstrate how he would care himself to protect himself from harm if released from inpatient treatment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that substantial evidence supported the judgment and order of the district court finding that B.O.T. suffered from a mental disorder that prevented him from taking care of his basic needs was supported by substantial evidence, and the findings of the district court were not clearly erroneous.
