Daniel Filho declared mentally incompetant
Daniel Filho’s mental health issues, which appear to have only sprung up after he was arrested, have been stalling criminal proceedings for some time now.
Filho was arrested back in July of 2015 and criminal proceedings have been pending since.
Unfortunately the delays look set to continue, with a US Judge ruling Daniel Filho is officially mentally incompetent to stand trial.
As per Judge Gorton’s March 28th order, Filho
presently suffers from a mental disease or defect (delusional disorder) that renders him unable to assist properly in his defense due to his mental incompetence.
The DOJ has requested an evidentiary hearing to explore the possibility Filho will be involuntarily medicated. Whether Filho is rejected treatment for the time being is unclear.
The evidentiary hearing is scheduled for April 26th, after which hopefully we’ll get some answers.
In the meantime Judge Gorton recommended Filho be held in the Federal Medical Center, Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts.
Stay tuned…
Update 27th April 2017 – Not a lot of specifics to report on. A sealed Joint Status Report was filed and then the April 26th evidentiary hearing was cancelled.
A new hearing date has yet to be scheduled.
Update 28th July 2018 – Daniel Filho has been declared incompetent to stand trial.
The DOJ expect the decision will result in criminal charges against Filho to be dismissed.
Oh, phooey. You can fake that easily enough if you’re psychopathic enough. And Filho clearly was a high-functioning psycho having amassed all that “wealth” and lead so many people through their noses.
Any one remember that gold-wrapped Lambo he was driving around and showing off?
No, very wrong!!! Do this in a judge if REALLY difficult. This is a case where he get millions of dollars. No one can easily fake a mental dissorder. This is a serious thing!
This sounds like the equivalent of the UK’s sectioning whereby people are held in a secure hospital, whether they agree to it or not, because of the state of their mental health.
Filho may be a crook but he certainly hasn’t got away with his alleged crimes. He is not a free man and should his mental health improve he will still have to stand trial.
ending up in a federal looney bin, with criminal offender who are legitimately out of their mind. id say is 10 times worse than federal prison…
Maybe now makes more sense the bunch of lunatics (maybe this mental condition it’s spreading), remember the Bizarre attorney-in-fact filing in Filho criminal case, made by the General Executor for the Patricia Lynn Kennedy Schmaltz lolz testimony given under solemn oath and vow to the Divine Creator on Time Space: E1:Y3:A62:S4:M22:D1, near Red Lodge, Montana and held in the Estate Manor Records as Register No.: 100003-140865-140005.
what on earth could explain that, hu?
no kidding now. I really don’t believe in this novel!! Too damn opportunist… This fellow is recidivist.
