Tuesday’s hearing focused on whether the accused was eligible for mental health diversion in connection with the pending charges. Deputy District Attorney Wong stated that the case contained “outstanding evidence” indicating the accused was not a suitable candidate for mental health diversion. Furthermore, DDA Wong argued that outpatient treatment would likely be ineffective because of the accused’s history of refusing medical support. She asserted that the accused’s mistrust of mental health services demonstrated he had “no capacity to make a decision on treatment.” After speaking with the accused, DPD Sherrer told the court that the accused expressed a strong “desire to get [his] life back in order.”
