Andy Esquivel failed to complete psychiatric evaluation

Posted on January 8, 2014 in Trial Updates

This website has learned that part of the reason the court decided to throw Andy Esquivel in jail until further notice was because he failed to report for his mandatory psychiatric evaluation as ordered.  This letter [PDF] from psychiatrist assigned to evaluate Andy states that in spite of repeated attempts to make contact, Andy did not return phone calls or attempt to otherwise make contact.

We are still waiting for an audio transcript of the January 7th hearing and will provide more details as they become available.  As of right now, Andy is behind bars and will remain there for the foreseeable future.
