P. v. Roark CA1/2
Defendant Dahesi Nigel Roark was convicted of first degree residential robbery and found to have multiple prior serious or violent felony convictions. Almost a year after trial but before sentencing, defense counsel expressed doubt as to Roark’s competence “moving forward,” and the trial court ordered two psychological evaluations. At a subsequent hearing on the matter, defense counsel submitted the issue of competence on the psychologists’ reports, and the trial court found Roark competent. Roark was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.
