Two psychiatrists have found David Tarloff, who killed an Upper East Side psychiatrist in February, unfit to stand trial. But the NY Times reports that his lawyer Bryan Konski wants a "more complete examination" by another court-appointed psychiatrist (two court-appointed psychiatrists made the unfit assessment), claiming that Tarloff "had been medicated before being examined." Konski is worried that his client, a schizophrenic who killed the office mate of the psychiatrist who diagnosed him with the illness 17 years ago (that psychiatrist was seriously injured in the attack), will be sent to a facility "where he would be medicated until he was found fit." Konski said his Tarloff, who is on suicide watch, is "a mess. Worse than I have ever seen him.”
