Why It Appears That Women Are Taking Over Everything

Who Defined “Jewish”? The Deeper Battle Over Identity and Divine Authority By: Michael Taylor | ThaWilsonBlock Magazine In today’s world of rewritten truths and rebranded identities, few topics are more misunderstood—or more manipulated—than the question: Who is a Jew? For centuries, institutions, cultures, and religious authorities have claimed the right to define Jewishness. But beneath the noise of tradition and politics lies a deeper issue—a spiritual one. Because the question isn't just how “Jewish” is defined. The real question is: Who or what has the authority to define it in the first place? --- The Origin of the Covenant When we go back to the beginning, the answer is simple and undeniable. The Most High—YHWH—established a covenant with Abraham, reaffirmed it through Isaac, and fulfilled it through Jacob, who was renamed Israel. The covenant was not based on culture or customs. It was based on divine election and lineage. > “I will establish my covenant betw...

Public Defender Danielle Bell Initiates Unauthorized Competency Assessment on Client for Saying, "Catholicism Is A Wrong Religion" Resulting In State Hospital Commitment

Public Defender Under Scrutiny for Alleged Breach of Privilege Leading to Unlawful Psychiatric Commitment of Defendant


Los Angeles, CA —Controversy is mounting in Los Angeles County over the handling of criminal case #GA1111-32-01 involving Michael Taylor, a defendant who was recently restored to competency after being committed to Metropolitan State Hospital. Allegations have surfaced that Taylor was subjected to a court-unauthorized psychiatric evaluation—prompted by his critical remarks about religion in an email to his public defender—leading to a cascade of events that resulted in his involuntary hospitalization, forced medication, and a disputed diagnosis of unspecified schizophrenia.

At the center of the storm is Public Defender Ms. Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell, who is accused of facilitating a Penal Code §730 competency evaluation without a judicial order, in response to Taylor’s email expressing frustration with his legal representation and criticisms of Catholicism. According to case documents, the email—marked by strong religious opinions but devoid of threats—was quoted verbatim in a competency assessment authored by court-appointed psychologist Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo.


Legal observers point out that the assessment was not ordered by the court at the time it was conducted, raising serious concerns about procedural impropriety and retaliation for protected speech.

The inclusion of a private email communication in a psychological assessment, without a court order and without the defendant’s consent, amounts to an indisputable breach of attorney-client privilege. It also violates constitutional protections under the First Amendment and the Sixth Amendment.

The original evaluation by Dr. D’Ingillo was subsequently referenced by multiple psychologists, namely Dr. Phani Tumu and Dr. Kory Knapke, in follow-up assessments, each more or less reinforcing the conclusion of Taylor’s incompetence. These evaluations ultimately served as the basis for a court order committing Taylor to Metropolitan State Hospital, where he was involuntarily medicated and diagnosed with unspecified schizophrenia—a diagnosis Taylor’s legal team, namely bar panel attorney Vernon Patterson #165016, is refusing to address following his return to court-ordered competency.

According to records, Ms. Bell disclosed the email content—originally sent only to her and supervising attorney Kristoffer McFarren—directly to the evaluating psychologist. No evidence has been produced to show that Taylor waived his right to confidentiality, and no court order authorizing the disclosure or assessment appears in the official court docket prior to the evaluation.


The legal implications are wide-ranging. If the evaluation was indeed initiated and supported by privileged communications without proper consent or court authorization, then all proceedings that relied on that assessment could be tainted by constitutional violations, including:

- Violation of attorney-client privilege
- Retaliation for protected speech under the First Amendment
- Due process violations under the Fourteenth Amendment
- Ineffective assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment

There are serious questions about whether Mr. Taylor’s psychiatric commitment and subsequent loss of liberty were lawfully obtained. If the foundation of the competency determination is shown to be unconstitutional, the charges could be subject to dismissal under doctrines of due process and fundamental fairness.

Now that Taylor has been deemed competent once again, these issues are expected to take center stage in upcoming proceedings. Motions may be filed challenging the validity of prior evaluations, seeking sanctions, or even requesting dismissal of charges based on misconduct and violation of constitutional rights.

The Public Defender’s Office has not issued a formal statement, and they're refusing to provide clarity into the reasons for declaring conflicts of interest.


As for Michael Taylor, he maintains his innocence and is expected to raise multiple constitutional challenges in the upcoming phases of his case. The outcome could set a significant precedent for how attorney-client privilege is protected—even in mental health contexts—and whether criticisms of religion can ever justify psychiatric evaluation without clear legal authority.
