CORNABY, District Judge
(concurring):
I concur in the opinion of Justice Oaks, with comments!
This Court should not accept the proposition that a patient must be hospitalized for life because state statutes fail to provide for a release conditioned on participation in a mandatory court-ordered out-patient program wherein the patient will receive the required medication and counseling on a regular basis. The problem should be referred by this Court to the Legislature. The court should review this case after allowing sufficient time for legislative action and implementation, say 1987.
STEWART, J., concurs in the concurring opinion of District Judge Cornaby.
DURHAM, J., having disqualified herself, does not participate herein; CORNABY, District Judge, sat.
