License #435200706 to speak and then offered an apology for his outbursts. “I know this trial is important to you, Mr. Dalton,” Barrett replied, “but I will have to remove you from the courtroom if there is any other disturbance.” Dalton remained silent through the rest of the court session. Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney James Gibbons-Sha- piro argued in his closing that the defense failed to meet the burden of proof that Dalton is mentally incompetent to stand trial. California law says that a person must be able to understand court Cancer proceedings and be able to assist his or her attorney in order to be declared mentally competent. There is no dispute that Dalton is mentally ill, having been diag- nosed with schizophrenia since the age of 18, but Gibbons-Shapiro Surviorship Day cited several examples of how, he claimed, Dalton was able to assist his attorneys. Free and Open to the Community That included two instances when Dalton briefly testified, answer- ing several questions by Barrett. The first was when he waived his right to a jury trial, and the second was when he waived his right to attorney-client privilege to allow his attorney to explain a note he had signed about keeping his prior medical records sealed. Both of those instances show that Dalton can assist in his own defense, Gibbons-Shapiro argued.

The mobile homes stand cheek by jowl, each in a 28-by-20-foot space. Colorful flowers, tropical plants and whimsical ornaments brighten some of the metal and weathered-wood exteriors.

He leaves behind scores of graduates who swear that the playful, silliness-encouraged environment at Heffalump stamped their childhood with lasting joy. “It’s been the experience of my life. He’s the best storyteller in the world,” said 15- year-old Tessa Goble, who attended Heffalump from 1994-’97. From playing “hot lava TO monster” to giving the best — no, really the best — swing rides ever, Wing made every moment more fun, she said. His freewheeling philosophy ran counter to the emphasis locally on preparing even 3 farewell year olds for a strong academic future — and that’s great, parent Lindsay Joye said. MAGICAL “This area tends to be very focused on academics and achievement. ...[Wing] created a safe, creative environment for the kids to just be themselves, unlike any other structured Palo Alto preschool experience,” she said. Wing’s ability to infuse everyday minutes with magic was legendary. MENTOR One student loved vacuum cleaners.
