Description
BURKE, J. Upon conviction of defendant Lenny Bruce of possession of heroin criminal proceedings were suspended, and on June 4, 1963, the court ordered the sheriff to file a petition pursuant to former section 6451 of the Penal Code*fn1 in order to ascertain whether defendant "is addicted to the use of narcotic drugs or by reason of repeated use of narcotics is in imminent danger of becoming so addicted." A petition was filed and a lengthy hearing was held commencing on June 12, 1963, at which defendant was represented by counsel. At the conclusion of the hearing the trial court determined that defendant was a narcotic addict and committed him to the custody of the Director of Corrections for placement in the narcotic addicts rehabilitation program.
