A Sonoma County Superior Court judge ruled that a man who allegedly stabbed his guardian in April is mentally incompetent to stand trial for attempted murder.
Judge Robert LaForge had earlier suspended criminal proceedings against 20-year-old Micah Hughes pending a psychiatric exam.
Hughes was charged with the attempted murder of 51-year-old Mitchell Davis, who was stabbed 10 to 12 times in a vehicle in unincorporated Sonoma County around 7:15 p.m. on April 30.
Hughes will have another mental health evaluation before a hearing on July 22 to determine the mental health hospital to which he will be sent.

Man Accused of Stabbing Guardian Found Mentally Incompetent
We can only assume he was being abused!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts too, Thelma. Of course we probably won't hear that side of it.
ReplyDeleteYes, there had to be a reason Mitchell Davis did this. I know what will happen, they'll say it was all because he's crazy and dangerous and maybe that's true. But maybe there's more to the story too.
ReplyDeleteWait a second.......wasnt he already "incompetent" to be put in the position he was in?? How these labels are twisted. Who would kill their guardian??? mmmmm if it was oly "legal"? I guess the ward beat him to the "punch". I dont condone this but I wonder when you loose ALL of your assets and decision making ability as well as being isolated, that might push anyone over the edge. I assume that this man had NO hope of ever getting his life back and the reality is he probably wouldnt have ever. If there is a guardian out there that doesnt abuse their "wards" please get your name out.....You will be needed in every county in the US. Question??? Where is all the media attention when a guardian kills their "ward"?
