Lawsuit Could Limit State Hospital Access

(Salem, OR) -- District attorneys from Clackamas, Washington and Marion counties are concerned the state isn't arguing against a lawsuit that could limit access to the State Hospital. The lawsuit was filed by Disability Rights Oregon and Metropolitan Public Defenders, because it's taking too long for defendants to get into the hospital. The DA's say if 30-day and 180-day extensions are eliminated it'll put dangerous defendants on the streets. They say the ultimate solution is more capacity at the State Hospital.
