Jennifer Aniston's Stalker Deemed ‘Mentally Incompetent' To Stand Trial
The accused, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, crashed his car through the gates of Aniston's home in Los Angeles.
In a fresh development surrounding actor Jennifer Aniston's stalking case, the accused, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, has been deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial. The decision was taken by the Los Angeles County mental health court after a second opinion about Carwyle by the psychiatrist. The court reached the same conclusion as earlier, believing that Carwyle's mental state does not allow him to respond to the felony charges of vandalism and stalking.
This means all the current charges, along with the proceedings against the offender, have been suspended for now. 'The court finds the defendant is not currently competent to stand trial. Criminal proceedings will remain suspended," said Judge Maria Cavalluzzi.
Earlier last week, the second opinion was sought by the public defender following the evaluation of the Mississippi man being 'incompetent to stand trial." Carwyle continues to plead not guilty, even after appearing for his third hearing. While he previously appeared with bare shoulders, wrapped in a blanket-like smock meant for suicide prevention, the third hearing saw him in the bright yellow county jail outfit. With the trial paused, the hearing moved to allow Carwyle to begin a routine of medication for his condition. If convicted on the charges, he could have been given up to three years in prison.
Meanwhile, the judge has also ordered more comprehensive mental evaluations to help determine where and how the defendant will be held and the details of his treatment. The judge has asked for the report on the results at a June 26 hearing, where Aniston or her attorney will present their side of the case.
Jennifer Aniston Stalking Case
Earlier this month, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, of New Albany, Mississippi, was accused of crashing his car through the gates of Aniston's home in Los Angeles. Carwyle was also charged with stalking and vandalism. Jennifer Aniston's attorney claimed that he had repeatedly sent her voicemail, email, and social media messages for over two years.
As per reports, the collision caused major damage to the property, and the actress was present at home at the time. One of her security guards stopped him in the driveway and informed the police. Later on, the court ordered Carwyle to keep a safe distance from Aniston. 'You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions," the judge said in a previous hearing.
Jennifer Aniston is best known for her performance as Rachel Green in the popular TV sitcom, Friends.

Mike Tyson's cannabis plea: Boxing legend presses Trump on marijuana reform after Biden's broken pledge; says 'was going crazy without it'
Boxing icon Mike Tyson has joined a powerhouse coalition of athletes and entertainers urging US President Donald Trump to deliver on marijuana reform, a pledge they say Joe Biden failed to keep. "There's over 500,000 people that can't get loans because they're in the cannabis business alone and that's just so ridiculous. It's such a great income for the country," he told Fox & Friends hosts on Monday. Talking about his own experience of taking cannabis, Tyson said, "I could not live, I was going crazy without cannabis. I was just going absolutely mad, fighting people in the street, giving wild responses back to people who said, 'Can I help you?' And then it's done so much for me. It's given me a new life, so to speak… all the reckless trouble I was getting into [as a kid], that's not happening now as an adult." The Coalition of Athletes and Entertainers Supporting President Trump's Policy Objectives, which is backed by stars like Kevin Durant and Dez Bryant, wrote to the White House regarding the issue. The group is calling for clemency for nonviolent marijuana offenses, reclassification of cannabis, and an end to what they describe as discriminatory banking practices. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Criticising the Biden administration over its non-action towards the issue, the letter said, "Not only did he leave office without commuting the sentences of those incarcerated for marijuana, but in one of his final acts, he denied nearly every pending marijuana-related clemency application". "This betrayal only underscores the urgent need for bold leadership, we believe, and represents an opportunity to correct glaring disparities as part of your [the Trump] Administration's ongoing push for criminal justice reform," it said, Fox News reported. Tyson said the group is focused on creating access to safe banking for people in the cannabis industry who are currently shut out from getting loans.

Doctor who supplied ‘Friends' actor Matthew Perry with ketamine to plead guilty
A doctor accused of giving 'Friends' star Matthew Perry ketamine in the month leading up to his fatal overdose has agreed to plead guilty, US prosecutors said on Monday. Dr Salvador Plasencia will plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, according to the US Attorney's Office. The charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 40 years. Plasencia is expected to formally enter his plea in the coming weeks, the Associated Press reported. Perry, 54, was found dead in his hot tub on 28 October 2023. The medical examiner ruled that his death was caused by 'acute effects of ketamine.' Though the actor had been receiving the drug legally through his regular physician as part of an off-label depression treatment, he began seeking higher quantities than his doctor was willing to provide. According to court filings cited by the AP, Plasencia stepped in around that time and contacted another doctor, Mark Chavez, to help procure ketamine. 'I wonder how much this moron will pay,' Plasencia texted Chavez, according to prosecutors. The two met that same day in Costa Mesa, California, where Chavez gave Plasencia four vials of ketamine. Prosecutors said Plasencia then sold the drugs to Perry for $4,500 and even proposed becoming Perry's regular supplier, asking Chavez if he could 'keep supplying' so they could be the actor's 'go-to.' As per the report by AP, Plasencia and a woman named Jasmine Sangha, described by prosecutors as a major ketamine dealer, had been the key targets in the case after three other defendants, including Chavez, entered plea deals and agreed to cooperate with the investigation. While Plasencia is believed to have supplied most of the ketamine Perry consumed in his final weeks, Sangha is alleged to have provided the fatal dose. She has pleaded not guilty and is set to go to trial in August, making her the only one of the five people charged who has not entered a plea agreement. Perry had long struggled with addiction, dating back to his time as Chandler Bing on Friends, which ran from 1994 to 2004.

Doctor Charged in Matthew Perry's Fatal Ketamine Overdose to Plead Guilty, Could Get 40 Years in Prison
Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of death and substance abuse. FRIENDS star Matthew Perry's death is back in the news again. As doubts arise about the culprit in the case, one common factor continues to be the doctor who provided the 54-year-old with a substance that is said to have ended his life. The concerned Californian doctor has agreed to plead guilty, allowing for some substantial outcome to the long-running case, which first began in October 2023, following the actor's sudden demise. According to a BBC report, federal prosecutors involved in the case have confirmed that the doctor who perpetrated the Chandler Bing star's access to ketamine will admit to the act. Dr Salvador Plasencia, the accused, will be pleading guilty to four charges of supplying the drug to Matthew Perry. The medical professional is one of the five involved in the case. Conspiracy to loot Matthew Perry Previously, another accused, Dr Mark Chavez, also pleaded guilty in October 2024, after initially beginning to supply ketamine to the star in September 2023. It is said that the two doctors had known each other for 20 years before conspiring to supply excess amounts of ketamine to the actor. Another woman named Jasveen Sangha is also a part of the gang, said to have planned the overdose, in greed for earning money. Excuses like Matthew Perry wanting to use the drug to lessen his depression, for which he initially began taking ketamine and wanting to cut off his smoking habits were listed in the cause. As the actor began looking for larger amounts of the drug, the five involved used it to their advantage, trying to extort funds. A total of twenty 5ml (100mg/ml) vials of ketamine were sold to the FRIENDS actor and his assistant, the latter of whom was also taught how to administer the drug. Amid their multiple attempts to earn more money, Matthew Perry ended up dead by drowning in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. Dr Salvador Plasencia stands to receive a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
