Board says medical treatments and tracking bracelet not convincing safety assurances
Summary
The board found the petitioner's proposed safeguards'medication to lower testosterone and an electronic bracelet'insufficient evidence of public-safety mitigation and concluded no conditions could outweigh the case history.
Members reviewed the petitioner's proffered safety measures, including medical treatments to lower testosterone and an electronic tracking bracelet. Counsel and board members said those measures, as described in testimony, did not constitute sufficient assurances: counsel noted the petitioner mentioned medications and tracking but the board found the arguments unpersuasive, in part because the petitioner previously removed a tracking bracelet.
On balancing whether conditions could address risk, a member summarized the board's conclusion: "No conditions could be imposed that would outweigh the circumstance of this case given the history of the person." The board folded that finding into the final decision denying the exception request.
