A lawsuit against the City of Wichita covers what its court system is not offering certain defendants. That class action lawsuit claims Wichita’s Municipal Court doesn’t provide psychological evaluations to determine if a defendant suspected of having mental health issues should stand trial. The lawsuit says The City has been wrongfully convicting people who aren’t competent for years and it needs to stop. Attorney Mark Schoenhofer says his client was wrongly convicted on charges related to drugs, petty theft, and urinating in public because there was no psych evaluation before she went to trial.
