The mental evaluation for murder suspect Earl Guillemet has been completed, and lawyers have requested more time to go over the results and how to proceed from here.
The results were not discussed in court Wednesday, but defense attorney Ramon McGee—who represents Guillemet—did tell the judge he has no dispute about the expert’s findings and he had no objection to the acceptance of those findings.
Both he and Commonwealth’s Attorney Maureen Leamy requested more time to go over the findings, with McGee saying he thinks this is a good case for mediation in the hope of coming to a possible resolution.
Judge John Atkins set a pre-trial hearing for June 19 with the hope of having a resolution at that time—he says if not, they’ll look to set it for trial.
Guillemet is accused of fatally shooting Dolores Hernandez May 3 in the 300 block of East 18th Street. Witnesses and security camera footage from the area identified a silver Chevy truck as leaving the scene after the shooting and a Black male with gray facial hair was seen walking towards the victim’s residence just moments before the shots fired call.
Police would also eventually recover the gun Guillemet allegedly used to kill Hernandez and he was arrested on charges of murder, tampering with evidence and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
