Man that Bombed LDS Buildings in Las Vegas Released
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- A US District Judge in Las Vegas has released a man
accused of bombing a series of LDS chapels around the city. James Carbullido
was released because doctors determined he is not mentally ill, as the court
ruled last March.
Carbullido plead not guilty by reason of insanity in March after experts for
both his defensce and for the government diagnosed him as a paranoid
schizophrenic. He was then committed to a federal mental hospital in New
York, where doctors soon realized that he was not mentally ill, but severely
addicted to methamphetamine, which caused him to display the symptoms of
mental illness.
Judge David Hagen then heard arguments on July 24th from Carbullido's
attorney, who argued for his release and from prosecutors, who disagreed,
saying that he was still a danger to the community. In ordering Carbullido's
release, Judge Hagen required that he remain on a strict outpatient
treatment regimen and ordered him to report monthly on his progress. The
Judge also ordered that Carbullido submit to random drug tests.
