P. v. Ross CA1/5
In September 2021, an information was filed charging Appellant with unlawful handling of human remains (§ 7052, subd. (a); count one); removal or possession of a memento from human remains (§ 7051.5, subd. (a); count two); and unauthorized entry of a dwelling house (Pen. Code, § 605.2, subd. (a); count three). The charges were based on evidence that Appellant had mishandled human remains while staying at an abandoned house.
In October 2021, defense counsel requested a doctor be appointed to determine Appellant’s competency because Appellant sustained a head injury in a motor vehicle accident just before his arrest. In November, following receipt of the doctor’s report, both counsel stipulated to a finding of competency and the trial court so found.
At the same hearing, Appellant asked to address the trial court about “something that is very important,” continuing, “[m]aybe you would like to understand this is a corrupt officer in my case.”
