I've attended involuntary committment hearings here in PA, and there's always an attorney or pscyhiatrist (usually someone from the public defender's office) to argue for the committed person.
Granted, if the PD is in cahoots with everybody it might not matter, but I've seen that they do their job even if the person is really crazy.
