Alexander Jay, accused of throwing a Seattle nurse down the steps of a light rail station, kicking her in the face and breaking ribs and her clavicle, is one of dozens who have received these payments.
VIDEO: Dozens of people could receive thousands for waiting in jail for treatmentSEATTLE — A KIRO 7 investigation discovered judges have ordered dozens of people to receive thousands of dollars in payments from the state for waiting in jail for mental health treatment, so they can participate in their own trials.
Those documents show judges have ordered more than 50 other people, including Jay, to also receive compensatory sanctions payments, which are added up and can be paid out after a person has been admitted to a state psychiatric facility. Jay’s payments began May 9 and at first, they were ordered to be paid directly to him at the end; two months later, that was adjusted to go to a responsible adult for his care. The current total is $49,000.
The money is either ordered to be paid to a defendant or to someone else on their behalf for their care. “Absolutely,” she said. “We see people who start with one case and end up with two or three or four cases pending.”.When a case is dismissed, that person goes to the top of the waitlist for evaluation by DSHS. That waitlist is now about 850 people long.He pointed to the COVID pandemic as a cause: hospital admissions on the DSHS end, the pandemic backlog of cases coming through and a demand for competency restoration.
“Are you optimistic that you can fill all those positions for those beds coming online?,” Sheldon asked. “We need to improve this process and we need to do it thoughtfully and fast,” she said. “I want people that think about it. It’s out there, and maybe there’s someone out there who has a great idea.”“He gets the treatment he needs, comes back,” she said. “You face a legal trial. You get that out of the way and then, the result of that is that’s what I would call justice, I guess.”
