Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Wrong answer

The Chronicle reports Marilyn Barletta, the Sonoma County nutjob who packed more than 200 cats into her squalid home three years ago, has been freed and declared unfit to stand trial.
Her release came after two psychiatrists told Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Robert Dale that her competency could not be restored to face trial on misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.

Barletta, 64, appeared to be pleased after the judge ordered her to be released from custody. Dale had suspended her criminal proceedings June 21 and sent her to the county's mental health facility for treatment. She had been held in the county jail since Nov. 6.
A followup question to the reporter clarified that Barletta has no criminal record as a result, and amazingly no restrictions on keeping cats!

I'd like to see law enforcement for wherever she ends up keep an eye on this. She should not be permitted to adopt or pick up cats, or any other pets for that matter.
