re: #137 Daniel Ballard

Here’s the cited section 8100 of the Welfare and Institutions code. It deals with inpatients who in the opinion of their therapists are a threat to themselves or others and outpatients who’ve communicated “to a licensed psychotherapist, as defined in subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, of Section 1010 of the Evidence Code, a serious threat of physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim or victims.”

I’m fairly certain Colorado has a similar rule and that whatever it was Holmes said in the course of his therapy it didn’t actually meet this threshold.
