"Mental Unfitness Delays Trial for Ex-Student Accused of California Stabbing Deaths"
The criminal case against Carlos Dominguez, a former Northern California university student accused of multiple stabbings that resulted in two deaths and one injury, has been put on hold after prosecutors agreed that he is mentally unfit to stand trial. Dominguez, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, will be sent to a state hospital until his competency is restored. Prosecutors initially challenged his competency but dropped their opposition after new information emerged during the trial and the court ordered involuntary medication proceedings. Dominguez had been expelled from the University of California, Davis shortly before the stabbings occurred.
