For anyone curious, you can get updates on John's case here: http://74.174.28.52/BMWebLatest/CourtCase.aspx/Details/2470210?digest=hYUZjplcSPEQZn5MKoBTfA

Of note, in the most recent document at the time of posting - "hearing worksheet filed" from 12/11/18 - it says that Bulla meets the criteria for involuntary hospitalization and is "incompetent to proceed." Looks like we've lost a cow, friends.
Some cows you just have to out to pasture. Plenty more on the farms, that aren't dangerous lunatics.

Probably. Usually the purpose of that is to drug the person enough to make them legally sane enough for trial. In Bulla's case, that might not be possible, or even if it is possible, he could still meet the not guilty by reason of insanity criteria, which would also mean a commitment. Also, depending on what's really going on, he could qualify for civil commitment as a sex offender.
 
Forgive my not being familiar with the newest updates but it appears as if he has had more charges filed against him and they have now closed the matter due to unable to go to trial and is now a involuntary patient if I am reading it correctly?
I also wonder why this was done before his next scheduled court date in February?

According to the Clerk of Courts website, Bulla's case is officially CLOSED. No trial and straight to the loony bin. It's been a wild 2 years in Pensacola and on this forum. Thanks for all of the great updates, pictures and comments.

Adios,

This is probably the first time a cow who belonged in the nuthatch actually got sent there.
 
Does anyone know how long he might be held there? I'm unfamiliar with loony laws outside the temporary hold.

If they commit him, it's indefinite, and simply until they deem him able to exist outside of a loony bin without being a danger to self or others.

I'm not sure if they will reopen the case against him if he gets discharged some time soon.

He may have really deteriorated since we saw him last.

I thought they might just be putting him in for psych evaluation and to drug him up enough to be competent to stand trial, but maybe they've just decided he's so nuts it would be completely pointless.

He’s pretty clearly nuts and they got a number of physicians to sign off on it. The DA likely agrees and sees no real path or purpose to proceed in a criminal matter. Family, Judge, Doctors and Attorneys likely all signed off. And in such circumstances nobody cares what John thinks because he is clinically batshit insane.

He’ll be wandering the Florida streets as a homeless hobo in 6 months. I so wish and hope I am wrong. But sad experience tells me that modern psych institutions would kick Hannibal Lechter loose at 6 months unless it was a rich private pay.
 
I kind of hope he doesn't become lucid, can you imagine regaining sanity and looking back at your life after all that? That's some existential shit.
I guess the nature of his illness(es) will keep him from ever being so lucid. If you are schizophrenic and get medicine then that can happen, but Bulla imho has such a deep disturbance of his personality that he never "wakes up".
 
I hope he can get his magazines in prison. His creepy decor would help him keep violent offenders away.

Sorry I have to applaud you for your awesome post and having my first real laugh. I just got to thinking about his decor in there and will it be writing taped up or worse and this is legit and no shit..pun but had to..will he use his feces and write on the walls?
Yes he did that and was discovered by the cleaning firm the landlord HAD to hire for stench/garbage alone then discovered his finger painting!
Never a dull moment when it comes to Bulla!

I think at his age, with his diagnosis, he probably doesn't have long for this world, for better or worse. While on some level I would like for him to come to terms with all this, i doubt it.

He seriously wrote on his walls with his shit? That's not surprising with him, but still somehow shocking. Thank you for your service to us, and to him. Also, I think most of us appreciate your attention to him. We're actually a pretty sympathetic lot here.
 
So just to make sure everything is archived, I downloaded all the available court docs, and took full page caps of each of the tabs in the case entry, below are thumbnails of the caps, and the PDFs can be found in the accompanying .7z file.

Thank you for your kind words and I agree about Bulla. His mother was always there and she got leases put in her name because nobody would rent to him. I feel bad for her because she is very embarrassed by all this and now has to pay almost $1.000 for the cleaning crew the landlord hired. He told his mother that in all the years of renting to people and cleaning after a move this was the worst and that he literally lost his lunch when he walked in!

I hope he will co operate with Drs and get the help he needs and to be honest I didn't ever suspect he was that off his rocker to finger paint using his own shit or to even "keep" it and urine in containers! I knew he had issues going on "upstairs" but I never thought it was that bad!
