US EditionJudge finds man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston is mentally incompetent to stand trial
- On Thursday, a judge in a mental health court located in Los Angeles County ruled that Jimmy Wayne Carwyle is incapable of standing trial on felony charges related to stalking and vandalism involving Jennifer Aniston.
- The ruling comes after two psychiatrist assessments determined that Carwyle’s mental condition renders him unable to respond to the charges, following his request for a second evaluation after a prior decision of incompetence was made recently.
- Prosecutors accuse Carwyle, a 48-year-old from Mississippi who pleaded not guilty, of harassing Aniston for two years via voicemail, email, and social media before crashing his Chrysler PT Cruiser through her Bel Air gate on May 5, causing major property damage but no injuries.
- Judge Maria Cavalluzzi ruled that the defendant lacks the mental capacity to participate in trial proceedings at this time and ordered additional psychiatric assessments, with findings to be presented at a hearing scheduled for June 26, where Aniston or her legal counsel may offer their input.
- With proceedings suspended indefinitely, Carwyle faces up to three years in prison if convicted, but the criminal process could resume pending future evaluations and treatment decisions.
