Tackett v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided March 14, 1995 · Smart, Spinden, Ulrich
894 S.W.2d 262; 1995 Mo. App. LEXIS 442; 1995 WL 103775 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Tackett v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Murl Tackett appeals from the denial of his application for conditional release from a mental health facility. He contends that the hearing court erred in not granting him a conditional release because: (1) the Public Safety Interest did not prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Tackett was likely to be a danger to others; (2) the court used an improper standard in its determination; and (3) the court did not make a specific finding that Tackett suffered from a mental disease or defect.

Affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
