Three days after California’s mental health twisting laws were given immune from the prosecution, a Napa allegedly committed a brutal murder, indicating serious concerns about a system for the purpose of protecting public safety.
On Tuesday, Napa County Prosecutors filed the murder allegations of murder against 36 -year -old Ramiro Ochoa Mendoza for murder of 47 -year -old Noel Batresh, whose body was found under a bridge on 3 July.
Mendoza, who had a history of criminal offenses and poor compliance with probation, was considered mentally disabled to test earlier this year, including violating a preventive order and opposing arrests in allegations of misconduct earlier this year.
Despite several attempts by the defense counsel to dismiss the cases lump sum, the court ordered Mendza with a supervised release for two remaining misconducts at a mental health twisting program, following the legislative guidelines.

Mendoza, however, failed to appear for his scheduled mental health bend review and was considered non-transportation with the conditions of the program.
“Mendoza immediately failed to appear in court for his mental health turn review and was found out of compliance with the diversion program,” said the office of District Attorney, NAPA County.
Even with frequent violations and non-transportation, the court needed to dismiss the allegations due to the mental health status of Mendoza and only misconduct of their crimes.
Recently, a person from California, accused in the murder, was dropped from jail six months ago on ‘Mental Health Fold’.
The DA office said, “Because the law prevents the prosecution from continuing in cases where a defendant is considered incapable of rape only, the court had no choice but to dismiss the remaining two cases and did so on July 8, 2025.”
The dismissal followed recent legislative reforms, especially the Senate Bill 317, that time the courts have shown signs of increase in behavior by restoring qualifications in courts-procurement cases.
Mendoza was again arrested on 11 July and now faced allegations of murder with the alleged cruelty to the promotion of his former crimes and the murder of Batres. The case is already debating on the limits of mental health protection and their implications for public safety.

“The case highlights the influence of the real world of recent legal reforms, where the courts need to prioritize mental health treatment on traditional prosecution, even when the defendants demonstrate a reluctance or inability to follow the court-ordered programs,” Napa County’s Deputy District Attorney KT Sasimihal said in a statement.
A Gofundme campaign was launched to help in returning the remains of Batres in its home country Guatemala. According to the page, Batres was a resident of NAPA for 26 years.
