Deputy District Attorney Matthew De Moura sought the medical records in order to prepare for a potential competency trial. Hutchinson responded
There are lots of thorny legal problems with filing kidnapping charges against a rival governor, but the most important one is simple: Proving that the chief executive of the other state is, in fact, responsible for luring migrants onto a plane under false pretenses. But Gov. Gavin Newsom, on Twitter, is threatening to do just that after two recent flights delivered 36 people to Sacramento. The first flight arrived Saturday and a second arrived on Monday morning. Though neither flight originated in Florida, California’s governor put the blame squarely on the Sunshine State, as he did last year when planeloads of migrants were flown into Sacramento and Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. “You small, pathetic man,” Newsom tweeted at Florida Gov.

Hearing focuses on medical records By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — Attorneys in a Davis homicide case sparred Tuesday over the potential release of the defendant’s jailhouse medical records, but a Yolo Superior Court judge tabled the issue pending the resolution of ongoing
competency proceedings. The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office subpoenaed Carlos Reales Dominguez’s records, including mentalhealth documents, late last month after Dominguez’s public defender expressed doubts regarding his state of mind. “It is my firm opinion that my client is not mentally compe-

stabbing two people and attacking a third during a week-long crime spree in late April and early May.
