“””Noemi Guzman. Two years ago, she was arrested after her father’s home was set on fire and was also accused of breaking into a church rectory in South Omaha. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity.””””


Still shopping at Walmart. Why wasn’t she locked up in an insane asylum?

She stole that dagger from the store, then approached the child and ‘his guardian’, as the boy sat in the cart.
She forced the guardian to walk ahead , as she pushed the cart with the child sitting in it.

Not guilty because it was insane. But allowed to roam free in society.
These POS judges are long past facing repercussions for their idiotic criminal decisions.

There aren’t any they shut them down years ago. Cashless bail and BS. At least the officers saved the cost of arresting the azzhole again.

“Officers attempted life saving measures on Guzman “

Most likely applying CPR to pump out the rest of her blood.

Two years ago, she was arrested after her father's home was set on fire and was also accused of breaking into a church rectory in South Omaha. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

This is why I am against "Not guilty by reason of insanity" even being an option. Because they let the crazy people back out.

Guilty but insane is the option. If your cheese has slid so far off your cracker that you are not able to be legally responsible for your actions, you need to be locked up and stay locked up.

Am I saying that crazy people need to be in jail? Not at all. They should not be. The criminals do not deserve being put at risk and neither do the crazy people.

Both should be locked up in their own facilities.

The nuts in the insane asylum and the criminals in jail.

Found insane so therefore can’t be locked up but instead allowed to continue terrorizing the community.

Our politicians are insane as well.

“OPD says surveillance video showed Guzman shoplifted a large kitchen knife, approached the guardian and the child forced the guardian to walk in front of the cart while Guzman took control of the cart and directed both of them to the parking lot.

Officers intercepted Guzman shortly after she, the child, and the guardian were exiting the store and making their way east toward the parking lot entrance.”

If a person is deemed too insane to stand trial, then they need to be locked up in a prison for the criminally insane.

This is the same issue with the dude in Charlotte, NC who cut the throat of the Ukranian girl on a train. He has been deemed too insane to be tried. So lock him up till he dies.

The founder of the Peruvian Communist Party, also known as Sendero Luminoso, was named Guzmán.

It’ apparent that judges don’t understand that whole justice part of law enforcement these days. It’s like some sick mind disease has rotted their brains.

There ARE no asylums:

=====================================================================

Omaha woman accused of stabbing her father, breaking into church released from custody

Updated: 8:45 AM CDT Mar 26, 2024 KETV 7 Omaha

The judge released Noemi Guzman on a personal recognizance bond, meaning she didn't have to pay a bond amount.

A 29-year-old Omaha woman accused of stabbing her father and ransacking a church was released from custody.

On Monday, Noemi Guzman entered a written plea of not guilty in Douglas County District Court. She did not appear in person.

Guzman is accused of breaking into the rectory at St. Frances Cabrini Church March 3. Hours earlier, Omaha Police were called to a domestic disturbance involving Guzman and her father.

According to court documents, a Douglas County Court judge released Guzman on a personal recognizance bond on March 22, which doesn't require a bond amount to be paid.

She's now in the custody of pre-trial release and, as part of the conditions, can not use alcohol or controlled substances, not go more than 10 miles outside of Douglas County, and must refrain from direct or indirect contact with her parents, the church and its pastor.

Guzman's parents previously told KETV that their daughter is "not right," has been spiraling out of control for 10 years.

The parents are calling for mental health reform.

Guzman is facing four felonies, including second-degree assault, arson, burglary, and criminal mischief. If convicted, she faces anywhere from 1 to 92 years in prison.

The next court date has not been set yet.

======================================================================== And from the previous article from March 5, 2024:

An Omaha woman's parents say the state's mental health system failed her. Now she's in the hospital, accused of stabbing her father and breaking into a church.

Police say 29-year-old Noemi Guzman had a knife and broke into Saint Frances Cabrini Sunday morning. A priest was in the rectory at the time. He was able to hide and call 911. Police arrested the woman after a standoff.

Guzman's parents, who asked us not to use their names, say they've tried everything to get their daughter help, including filing a petition with the Board of Mental Health.

Tuesday, they're not the only ones calling for mental health care reform.

"She's not right, she's not right. She needs help," Guzman's dad said.

The scars tell the story. He showed KETV Newswatch 7 the knife wounds on his hands neck and face.

"She sprayed me in the face with pepper spray, and she jumped me with a knife," he said.

He says Sunday, his adult daughter stabbed him, doused him in lighter fluid, tried to set fire to the house and then broke into St. Frances Cabrini.

Guzman's mom says her daughter's mental health has been spiraling out of control for 10 years; she is diagnosed with schizophrenia.

"She did not want to leave her room," she said. "It was a year before I saw her face. And then, when I saw her, she had gained 100 pounds."

Guzman's dad says she breaks windows and thinks people are coming after her. He says he filed a board of mental health petition to get her some help last year. He says Guzman was in out of a hospital in five days, and they they never got a treatment plan.

"They never called me, they never asked me a question: is she getting better, is she still the same, or getting worse? They never ask me that," he said.

Because Guzman is an adult, her parents can't do anything else to force her to get help.

"It is terrible to feel powerless to help your children," Guzman's mom said. "I feel like I can't find the resources to get her some help."

And that is the reality in Nebraska.

The Douglas County Sheriff has said time and time again: the state does not have the infrastructure to help acute care patients.

"We don't have the bed space and even when we do have the bed space, we may not have the staff," Sheriff Aaron Hanson said.

Douglas County District Court, which processes Board of Mental Health petitions, agrees, saying:

"The Board of Mental Health is limited in the tools at their disposal. They need more beds, meds, and doctors to provide the care needed for these patients," Crystal Rhoades, Clerk of the District Court, said.

Hanson says statistics show 90% of people in the Board of Mental Health system never get admitted to a hospital against their will.

"Maybe that's appropriate, maybe all those people are self-correcting but I think the data and the experience would indicate otherwise," he said.

From 2022 to 2023, the number of Board of Mental Health petitions served jumped from 899 to 1020.

Hanson says it's not just the number of beds; the Board of Mental Health needs casework support.

"That doesn't exist right now," he said.

The Sheriff says lawmakers need to look at the Board of Mental Health's statutes, state law and mental health infrastructure- like the number of hospital beds.

"But we have to dig in, and I think policymakers on the state level are going to have to find real solutions," he said.

Guzman's parents say something has to change.

"I'll talk to whoever I need to talk to. Right now, it's my daughter, but there's a lot of people who need help," Noemi's mom said.

Guzman is still in the hospital Tuesday, but police say charges are pending.

Her mom wants lawmakers to actually find a solution. -

=======================================================================

Not a transsexual; just a woman rendered hideous by a mental illness because the Democrats dismantled the mental hospitals.

Note the unnamed judge let an obviously troubled person free without bail and Guzman didn't even have to show up.
