NYC wacko who allegedly bashed Central Park artist to death found not fit for trial

The stick-wielding man who allegedly admitted to fatally bludgeoning a beloved Central Park artist with a stick was found not fit to stand trial, a Manhattan judge revealed Tuesday. Jonathan Robles, 36, was set to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on murder charges for the Sept. 27 Central Park killing of Lee Rogers , a 63-year-old painter, before the madman’s attorney jumped in and said that he failed his mental health evaluation. Defendant Jonathan Robles is seen for the first time since being indicted with murder. Steven Hirsch for NY Post “I’m objecting to my client from being arraigned — he’s not fit,” attorney Mitchell Schuman told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Althea Drysdale just before the scheduled arraignment. The mental health exam — also known as a 730 exam — was ordered by a criminal court judge at his initial arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court in October. Prosecutors revealed that Robles’ exam results were only returned Monday, and asked the judge for a three-week adjournment for them to “digest” the findings to figure out how they will proceed.
