• recognizing that “[d]angerousness to others may be established by a pattern of overt acts of violence by a person with a mental disorder”
• recognizing that “[d]angerousness to others may be established by a pattern of overt acts of violence by a person with a mental disorder”
• concluding that an isolated occurrence of violence was insufficient to establish that the appellant was a danger to others where there was no evidence that the appellant had engaged in any other violent acts or threat- ened anyone else
• holding that there was insuffi- cient evidence of dangerousness where appellant raised a fireplace poker over her head, advanced toward her ex-husband, and said she would kill him because the inci- dent was “a classic example of an ‘isolated occurrence’ of violence”
• “A past violent act ‘must provide a foundation to predict future dangerousness,’ not merely have occurred, to support a determination that a person is dangerous to others due to a mental disorder.” (Quoting State v. L. R., 283 Or App 618, 625, 391 P3d 880 (2017).)
