How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “The clear and convincing evidence standard is a rigorous one, requir- ing evidence that is of extraordinary persuasiveness, and which makes the fact in issue highly probable.” (Quoting State v. M. R., 225 Or App 569, 574, 202 P3d 221 (2009).)
  • an appellant’s threats of future violence, combined with “a correspond- ing overt act demonstrating an intention to carry out the threats or other circumstances indicating that actual future violence is highly likely,” is generally sufficient to establish dangerousness to others
  • evidence of a sin- gle fistfight was insufficient to support commitment where the record indicated it was “an isolated act” that did not 702 State v. S. T. provide a basis for concluding that the appellant presented “an ongoing danger to others”
