However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maria Cavalluzzi ruled on Thursday that Boodarian is incompetent to stand trial and will be transferred to a state mental health facility for treatment.<\/p>\n
“The defendant lacks the capacity to make decisions regarding psychotropic medication,” Cavalluzzi stated in court. “Restoration is in the interest of justice, because this is a homicide case.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Court documents reveal Boodarian has a documented history of mental illness and a prior criminal record.<\/p>\n
During a previous court hearing in August, he appeared glassy-eyed and failed to respond to the judge’s questions. His public defender, Nancy Kolocotronis, said her client was suicidal and pointed out he was wearing a suicide gown in court.<\/p>\n
“He has severe mental health issues,” she said.<\/p>\n
Kaye and Deluca had taken measures to enhance their home security following a break-in earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
Security consultant Guy Cohen said he met with Kaye in May after someone gained entry to their home through a kitchen sliding door.<\/p>\n
“She was nervous because they had just had a break-in the previous evening,” Cohen said.<\/p>\n
“An intruder came in through the sliding glass door in the kitchen. They were home and the dog started barking and she yelled and the burglar ran away.”<\/p>\n
A 911 call from a neighbor on July 10 reported a break-in around 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
Approximately 40 minutes later, dispatchers received a second call from inside the residence. The caller, believed to be one of the victims, was heard pleading, “Please don’t shoot me.”<\/p>\n
Kaye and Deluca have since been cremated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
