APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1We reject the appellant’s submission that the respondent must show evidence of untreatability to sustain a dangerous offender order.
2Here the trial judge correctly asked himself whether there was a reasonable possibility of eventual control in the community of the risk posed by the appellant. There was ample evidence, all of which was carefully considered by the trial judge, to support his conclusion that the evidence fell far short of providing any such reasonable possibility.
3The appeal is dismissed.
