Overview

  • Judge Maria Cavalluzzi cited consistent findings from two psychiatrists in ruling that 48-year-old Jimmy Wayne Carwyle is not currently competent to stand trial on felony stalking and vandalism charges.
  • Prosecutors allege Carwyle harassed Jennifer Aniston with social media messages, emails, and voicemails since March 2023 before crashing his PT Cruiser into her Bel Air gate on May 5.
  • His estranged wife has said Carwyle believed he was Jesus Christ and Aniston his “queen,” a delusion that underpinned his stalking behavior.
  • The judge ordered two new comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to assess Carwyle’s treatment needs and security placement before any trial can resume.
  • A June 26 “interest of justice” hearing will allow the court to review the fresh mental health reports and hear impact statements from Aniston or her attorney.
