Last year, Mercado was deemed incompetent to stand trial and was sent to Patton State Hospital for treatment. He was recently returned to San Diego after doctors at Patton declared him competent.
The mental competency trial is scheduled for Nov. 12. A status conference is set for Sept. 28.
I saw this on the news last night. So the Dr.s at Patton deems him competent but he still has two more trials set before he can move forward to a trial for murder.

Sorry BITW for waking you from your sleuthing slumber but we have work to do! Missed you! :slap:
OT but I almost forgot how to post here lol
"The mental competency trial is scheduled for Nov. 12. A status conference is set for Sept. 28."
Anyone know what time the status conference tomorrow is set for?
OT...have followed this case all along, without posting, but wondering if it should be moved to "Upcoming Trials" or some other forum? Jmo
Good point cluciano. My only thought is that we don't know yet if he will stand trial for murder until his further proceedings hearing October 19. I'm not exactly sure how this all works but I think that hearing the court will then decide if he is competent to stand trial and proceed from there? Anyone else familiar with the judicial system, please feel free to chime in
