Description
James Pate (hereinafter, "Pate") appeals from the trial courts judgment entered following a jury verdict finding him to be a sexually violent predator (hereinafter, "SVP") and committing him to the custody and care of the Department of Mental Health pursuant to Sections 632.480-.513 RSMo (2000). Pate raises two points on appeal. First, Pate argues the trial court abused its discretion in admitting testimony regarding his diagnosis in that this diagnosis failed to distinguish a condition that specifically predisposed a person to commit a sexually violent offense from a person who engages in criminal or unacceptable conduct. Second, Pate claims there was insufficient evidence to support a finding beyond a reasonable doubt that he suffers from a mental abnormality. We affirm.
