Community organizer and illegal alien advocate (as long as they are Mexican) Larry Lopez's mental health is a question in his criminal court ordeal over eight felony counts of voter fraud. Martin Wisckol at the
Orange County Register has the story.
“The case has been delayed because Lopez was uncooperative with the previous psychiatrist,” said L.A. County DA’s spokewoman Jane Robison. “He was referred to another psychiatrist.”
It’s been a long, winding road to trial for Lopez, and when a trial or settlement will ever come about is anybody’s guess. A month after he was charged in June 2009, his lawyer, Edward R. Munoz, told me a settlement was possible.
At a February hearing, he fired Munoz and repeatedly told the court he was not the defendant – and was ordered to have a mental competency hearing.
He was eventually found competent to stand trial, but not before being jailed for four days after failing to identify himself to the court.
I pray that if he is mentally ill rather than just being a jerk, he gets the help he needs.
