Petitioners, similarly situated offenders who were in pretrial detention in proceedings to commit them as sexually violent predators, filed petitions for writ of habeas corpus in their respective counties.

On appeal, the Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed, holding that probable cause petitions verified by assistant state attorney was insufficient to support pretrial detention, but the State should be given time to cure the defects in the petitions.
