DEFENDANT #4: DR. PIETRO D'INGILLO (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

 

Role in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132)
Court-ordered psychiatrist who conducted the competency and mental health evaluations that formed the pretext for defendant Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.’s involuntary hospitalization and prolonged detention without due process.

Summary of Involvement
Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo occupies a critical role in the orchestration of medical-legal subterfuge within People v. Michael Taylor. Commissioned under a purported Penal Code § 730 order that remains sealed and unproduced, Dr. D’Ingillo performed psychiatric assessments that were leveraged to justify an extended deprivation of liberty.

His evaluations, prepared without full disclosure to the defendant or his counsel, were accepted by the court as authoritative despite the absence of proper judicial authorization. This deference to psychiatric opinion over legal procedure enabled the State to circumvent fundamental constitutional safeguards.

The Dossier reveals troubling inconsistencies in Dr. D’Ingillo’s reports, including reliance on evidence obtained under questionable legal circumstances, and failure to consider or record the defendant’s explicit objections. His participation constitutes a medical validation of judicial overreach, reinforcing unlawful detention predicated on flawed or fabricated mental health findings.

Why He Is Defendant #4 in the Dossier:

• Acted as the medical instrument through which unlawful confinement was rationalized.
• Provided psychiatric evaluations based on a sealed and undisclosed court order, undermining due process.
• Failed to independently verify the legality of his appointment or the defendant’s rights.
• His reports were used as evidence to sustain a fabricated narrative of incompetence, enabling ongoing false imprisonment.

> “Dr. D’Ingillo’s pen sealed the fate of liberty under the guise of medical authority, embodying the dangerous fusion of psychiatry and judicial power that this Dossier seeks to expose.”
