Riverside County DA's Office Applauds New State Law That Addresses Offenders With Mental Health Issues (patch.com) — Riverside residents should know that a new California law, strongly backed by the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, changes how clinicians assess whether offenders with serious mental health disorders remain dangerous before release.
