Judge rejects ex-city councilman's PTSD diversion bid in SoCal corruption case
A San Diego judge rejected former Poway Councilman Tony Blain's request for mental health diversion, finding insufficient evidence his military-related post-traumatic stress disorder contributed to his purported misconduct as a city official. Former Poway Councilman Tony Blain's request for mental health diversion was denied by a San Diego judge, who found insufficient evidence that his military-related post-traumatic stress disorder contributed to his alleged misconduct as a public official. Blain, a former Army colonel and a physician, is accused of multiple counts of felony bribery, theft and perjury. His attorneys argued that his career in the military led to a binary view of good versus evil, leading to his misconduct. However, the judge rejected these arguments, stating that Blain’s actions were the result of sophisticated political maneuvering not directly connected to his PTSD. Blains is also accused of attempting to destroy evidence of his communications, a felony, and of violating California public records laws.
