Why India-origin doctor, who intentionally drove Tesla with wife, kids off cliff in US, won't be jailed – Firstpost
FirstpostA psychologist told a US court that Patel was suffering from schizoaffective disorder and major depressive disorder weeks before the crash Dharmesh Patel, a 42-year-old Indian-origin doctor, who intentionally drove his Tesla car off a 330-foot cliff at Devil’s Side in San Mateo country in the US last year with his wife and two children inside, will neither face trial, nor serve any jail term for now. A psychologist told a US court that Patel was suffering from schizoaffective disorder and major depressive disorder weeks before the crash. The court then decided that Patel was eligible for a ‘mental health diversion’, that permits an accused with mental illness, who has committed a crime, to get mental health treatment instead of serving jail time. Patel’s doctors also said he was suffering from schizoaffective disorder and major depressive disorder weeks before the crash.
