If the judge finds ayres to be competent after the hearing, then charges can be reinstated, bail arguments can then be heard, and the prosecution can then attempt criminal re-trial if they so desire. If the judge finds ayres to be incompetent, it's not entirely clear what the next steps will be, but guesses have ranged from return to Napa, to release on his own recognizance , or into the medical conservatorship of his daughter Barbara Ayres of Sacramento, CA. I think it's unlikely that ayres will return to Napa State, as they've already stated that he is competent, and is malingering; lying about his incompetence in order to avoid criminal prosecution.
william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was alleging to provide psychiatric care to private patients as well as referrals for evaluation from the juvenile court system in San Mateo County. ayres has been delaying his way through the system free from custody until this latest gambit to skirt prosecution by playing demented for the courts. ayres has had significant interaction over the years with local politicians on boards like the "Children and Families First Commission," including the DA who was serving when prosecution began Jim Fox and Assemblyman Rich Gordon. In fact, Gordon nominated ayres for a lifetime achievement award for his "Tireless effort to improve the lives of children." ayres has also been vocally supported during his criminal trial by local head-shrinkers like Bart Blinder, Etta Bryant, Mel Blaustein, Harry Coren, Tom Ciesla, Robert Kimmich, Larry Lurie, Maria Lymberis, Richard Shadoan, Captane Thomson, and Harold Wallach.
I may have asked this before. Is it possible for the families & other advocates running this site to find a lawyer to write a friend of the court letter containing references to the PI's statements and send it to the judge with a copy of the video?
ReplyDeleteThe report was presented to the DA and court. During a follow-on hearing, the judge opened with comments about ex-parte information received from a non-involved party, (We can safely assume that this is private investigator’s report.) He stated that it was non-admissible and possibly unlawful for him to review, and that it can’t be taken into consideration.
ReplyDeleteGrandsaert stated that if the public is not happy with their officials, then they should change their officials at election time.
I believe that his statements to this effect were reported to the Commission on Judicial Performance, but I'm not sure of the outcome, if any.
(See the original post about Grandsaert.)
The judge stated that it was " criminal" and "illigal "for the outside party to have sent info on the PI. The judge went on a nasty rant. He said that if anyone didn't like what the DA is doing then they should vote hIm out.
ReplyDeleteThis tirade is still under investigation by an outside agency.
