Delay in trial of man accused of murder of Cork-born bishop in Los Angeles

Carlos Medina is charged with the murder of the Brooklodge native in February 2023

Bishop David O'Connell died in February 2023. 

The mental competency of a man accused of the murder of Cork-born Bishop David O’Connell to stand trial will not be determined until the new year.

Earlier this month, the case against Carlos Medina, the husband of Bishop David O’Connell’s housekeeper, was suspended after his lawyers raised concerns about his ability to stand trial during a pre-trial hearing.
