Judge Sonia Cortes denied the motion for restoration of sanity for the 65-year-old individual due to concerns over his lack of insight into his triggers, impulse control issues, lack of stable housing, and need for continued treatment for behavioral issues.
Witnesses testified that the accused has made significant progress in the CONREP program and has not failed a single drug test, but Dr. Horrillo expressed concern about potential relapse and Dr. Jackson diagnosed him with antisocial personality disorder and substance-induced psychosis.
Deputy District Attorney Jesse Richardson requested a continuance in the mental health diversion hearing of an accused individual, citing a lack of familiarity with Mental Health Court.
A woman facing multiple misdemeanor charges, including a 2023 DUI and two failures to appear, was ordered to wear a SCRAM device, which she has complied with for 90 days, but Judge Cortes declined to remove it due to the original terms of the court order.
