HIT AND RUN SUSPECT ENTERS A PLEA
|
A Fremont man accused of running down more than a dozen people in his SUV in an alleged hit-and-run rampage on the streets if San Francisco in 2006 has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
31-year-old Omeed Popal is accused of running down 16 pedestrians during a 15-minute span on various city streets and sidewalks.
The victims' injuries ranged from minor scrapes to one woman who suffered major injuries and is now a quadriplegic.
Popal's attorney says his client has a substantial documented history of severe psychiatric disorders.
Popal is also awaiting trial on one count of murder in connection with a hit-and-run in Fremont about 45 minutes before the San Francisco attacks. |
