Thompson v. Superior Court (Cal. Ct. App. - July 30, 2026)

The defendant here is charged with felony burglary and receives mental health diversion for alleged PTSD despite having 19 different felony convictions (for theft, fraud, forgery, assault with a deadly weapon, etc.) during the past dozen years.

To tell you the truth, I'm not entirely confident that the twentieth time will be the charm here.
