TL;DR Summary

The criminal case against Carlos Dominguez, a former California university student accused of a deadly stabbing spree, has been put on hold after prosecutors agreed that he is currently incompetent to stand trial. Dominguez, who is charged with killing two people and injuring another, was found to be unable to understand court proceedings and assist in his own defense due to his mental condition. He will be sent to a state hospital until his competency is restored, at which point the trial will resume. Prosecutors dropped their challenge after new information emerged during the trial and the court ordered involuntary medication for Dominguez, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
