The case against Alexander Cote Ferrer, charged with second-degree murder, ended in a surprise mistrial recently. Two psychologists declared him incompetent. They had been called in by the judge when the defendant in the “machete case” told his attorney he was hearing voices in his head.
Let’s be honest — if not fair. Anyone else — upon reading about this — think: “I wonder if one of those voices said: ‘Stay with the hearing-voices strategy. It’s working'”?
