Question No. 2: Whether the behavior of the Commonwealth of Virginia's Attorney General's Office, acting and civil commitment, should be subject to punitive action against those sent to give act without reviewing the requirements of the statute?
Question No. 3: Should the decision of the Virginia court be set aside and the civil commitment case be dismissed or remanded back to the circuit court for a new trial to better serve the ends of justice because the court's decision was harmless error?
