Ex-student accused in Northern California stabbing deaths is mentally unfit for trial

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:58 GMT

BY JANIE HAR | Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO — The criminal case against a former UC Davis student accused of several stabbings is on hold after prosecutors agreed that he is incompetent to stand trial for charges related to the attacks, which killed two people, wounded a third and terrorized a peaceful college town.The judge dismissed jurors in Carlos Dominguez’s competency trial Monday, which would have been the fifth day of testimony, after county prosecutors informed the court last week they no longer planned to fight the defense by Dominguez’s attorney that he was not mentally fit for trial.A determination of incompetency means Dominguez cannot currently understand court proceedings, assist his attorney in his defense and understand his own status in the criminal proceeding.Yolo Superior Court Judge Samuel McAdam last week ordered the defendant to receive medication over Dominguez’s objections, ruling he was a danger to himself and others without it. Three medical experts testi...

BLOSSOM VALLEY ATHLETIC LEAGUE SANTA TERESA-FOOTHILL DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 BRANHAMCoach: Stephen Johnson2022 record: 11-2What to expect: If the Bruins are to claim a second consecutive Foothill title, great play along both lines will be a big reason why after the graduation of several key contributors from last year’s 11-win team. Johnson said senior Gabe Morgan “has a ceiling as high as any of them” and that the 6-2, 235-pounder could take snaps at quarterback when not lining up at guard and strong safety. Seniors Kodi Fowler and Brady Edwards headline an experienced offensive line. Francis Mone, who is 330 pounds, will anchor the defensive line after recording 12 TFL last season. Senior Elias Antillon had over 1,600 yards from scrimmage with 10 touchdowns last season, and Johnson said he will be utilized as both a runner and receiver.  Season opener: Aug. 24 vs. Cupertino, 7:15 p.m.No. 2 PIEDMONT HILLSCoach: Matt Kiesle2022 record: 3-7What to expect: Piedmont Hi...

Back-to-school reminders on driving safely around buses, school zones: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:58 GMT

Q: With students returning to schools, it might be a good idea to remind drivers what the various lights and stop signs mean on school buses. So many drivers don’t seem to pay attention to them. This puts our little ones in danger of possibly getting hit by distracted and ignorant drivers.Don Cole, Campbell A: An excellent reminder. Drivers need to remember to drive patiently, slowly, and attentively around school zones and school buses.The speed limit is 25 mph, or lower where posted, within 500 feet of a school while children are outside or crossing the street. When near schools, watch out for bicycles, pedestrians, school buses and cars whose drivers are inattentive.As for school buses, flashing yellow lights on a school bus warn drivers to slow down and prepare to stop. With a few exceptions, California law requires drivers to stop in both directions when the red lights on a school bus are flashing. Drivers must remain stopped until those red lights are turned off.Accordin...
