Doctor charged with attempting to murder family in Tesla seeks mental health diversion

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:47:47 GMT

(KRON) -- A doctor charged with attempting to murder his entire family by driving over a cliff along Highway 1 appeared in a San Mateo County courtroom on Wednesday. Dharmesh Patel, 41, of Pasadena, could face a possible life prison sentence if his case moves forward to a trial and he is found guilty. His defense attorney is fighting to divert the case out of the criminal courts system and into a mental health diversion program. If the case is diverted, Patel could be freed from jail with a clean slate. Defense attorney Joshua Bentley said his client qualifies for mental health diversion because Patel was suffering from Major Depressive Disorder when he crashed his Tesla on January 2, 2023. The Tesla drove through Lantos Tunnel, turned off Highway 1 at Devil's Slide, plunged 250 feet over a cliff, and landed on a rocky beach below. Dharmesh Patel is seen in a January 2023 mugshot provided by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. California Highway Patrol officers said when they rea...
