Branford Doctor's Shooter Ruled Incompetent for Trial

The man accused of murdering a Yale University physician is still not competent to stand trial.

According to an article in the New Haven Register, Dr. Lishan Wang was evaluated by a psychiatrist and was found to have a personality or psychological disorder that prevents him from being able to cooperate on his trial.

Superior Court Judge Thomas V. O’Keefe Jr. has also appointed a health-care guardian for Wang, who will recommend whether anti-psychotic drugs, that could restore him to competency, should be given to him without his consent, the Register reported.

Wang is accused of fatally shooting Dr. Vajinder Toor outside of his Branford home in April 2010. He also allegedly shot at, but did not injure, Toor’s then-pregnant wife.

The health-care guardian—Dr. Gail Sicilia—has up to 30 days to file her recommendation on whether to administer the medication to Wang, the Register said.
