A San Diego judge Friday deemed a man charged with carrying out a string of deadly attacks on sleeping homeless men last summer to be mentally incompetent to stand trial. Judge Steven Stone ordered Jon David Guerrero to be sent to Patton State Hospital for up to three years or until he is determined to be competent. The 39-year-old Guerrero has been charged with three counts of murder and two counts of premediated attempted murder in the attacks in July that terrorized the city's homeless population. He has a history of arrests and mental competency hearings, including orders to be sent to a state hospital for treatment. In a report to the judge, a court-appointed doctor noted that Guerrero would not cooperate in being interviewed about his competency.
