Man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston found mentally incompetent for trial
Briefly

Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and crashing his car through her gate, has been declared mentally incompetent to stand trial. He requested a second psychiatric evaluation during a recent court hearing. Carwyle was found incompetent by a county psychiatrist after allegedly harassing Aniston for two years with various messages leading up to the incident. Currently jailed, Carwyle is forbidden from contacting Aniston, who was home during the incident but did not encounter him. If found incompetent again, he may be sent to a mental hospital.
Defense attorney Robert Krauss stated at the hearing that his client preferred a second mental health evaluation after being initially declared incompetent for trial.
Prosecutors reported that the defendant had been persistently stalking Jennifer Aniston with messages for two years, culminating in the car crash at her home.
Carwyle remains in custody and under a strict court order to maintain distance from Aniston, ensuring her safety amidst the harassment allegations.
The judge's decision to set a new hearing for Carwyle's evaluation demonstrates the legal system's focus on mental health assessments in criminal proceedings.
