Supreme Court of North Carolina
In re C.G.
December 16, 2022
Summary
The court affirmed the rejection of respondent's due process challenge, holding that the trial court's questioning and presentation of evidence did not undermine its impartiality. It nevertheless reversed the commitment order because the written findings and record evidence did not establish both the required inability to care for oneself and a reasonable probability of serious physical debilitation in the near future without inpatient treatment. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with those requirements.
