Psychologist Discusses Carlos Dominguez Trial & Verdict
Today licensed psychologist, Dr. Patrice Berry will discuss the Carlos Dominguez case and verdict. This is for education/information only and is not a psychological evaluation. My heart goes out to the surviving victim and the families of the victims.
Overview from: https://www.capradio.org/articles/2025/07/01/a-very-difficult-case-why-the-davis-stabbing-case-resulted-in-a-mistrial/#:~:text=Dominguez%20is%20charged%20with%20two,one%20count%20of%20attempted%20murder.&text=A%20Yolo%20County%20judge%20has,two%20people%20and%20injured%20another.
“Carlos Reales Dominguez was charged in the murders of 50-year-old David Breaux and 20-year-old Karim Abou Najm, as well as the attempted murder of then 64-year-old Kimberlee Guillory, who was stabbed multiple times through the wall of her tent. The jury found Dominguez not guilty on two counts of first degree murder, and deadlocked on all remaining counts including second degree murder. The defense argued that Dominguez was in a psychotic state due to schizophrenia and the criminal trial was delayed as he underwent treatment at a state hospital to restore competency. ”
