Does A.R.S. section 36-3702(B)(9)(a) authorize obtaining a second opinion to support the filing of an SVP petition?
Subject to interpretation. The statute says "a report", not "some reports". Then again, it doesn't say "all reports". Since the state has two, and the law says one, I guess they get to decide which one? Apparently the judge interprets the statute to mean the state gets "a report", and is stuck with it whether they like it or not.
How about if they get three reports? The state picks a person, the defendant picks a person, and they both agree on a third person. The law requires "reasonable doubt". With a unanimous consensus or a 2 out of 3 consensus one way or the other, the jury can easily decide beyond reasonable doubt.
