Wiesel SF Assault Suspect Needs Help, Lawyer Says

(AP) SOMERVILLE, N.J. A man accused of roughing up Nobel laureate and
Holocaust scholar Elie Wiesel at a San Francisco hotel earlier this month
needs mental help and should not be jailed while awaiting trial, his
lawyer said Tuesday.

A judge in New Jersey denied a request by the lawyer to move Eric Hunt,
22, to a psychiatric or medical facility so he can continue an
unspecified regimen of medication he was taking before his arrest at a
behavioral health clinic on Saturday.

The judge also denied a request that Hunt, of Vernon, be released on
bail.

Hunt faces charges in California that include attempted kidnapping, false
imprisonment, elder abuse, stalking, battery and the commission of a hate
crime, according to San Francisco police.

He is accused of accosting Wiesel, 78, outside a Feb. 1 peace forum at
the Argent Hotel in San Francisco. Police said Wiesel was approached in
the lobby by a white man in his 20s who asked for an interview.

Authorities said Wiesel agreed to talk in the lobby, but the man insisted
the interview be conducted in a hotel room, and got into the elevator
with Wiesel. Once on the sixth floor, the suspect dragged Wiesel from the
elevator, police said.
Wiesel began yelling, and the suspect ran away down the elevator, police
said.

Look at the BS they're charging him with!!! False imprisonment? Hate
crime? And even if all these charges are true, he should still get bail.
The jews want him in jail so they can torture him.
