Stabbing at Fresno Courthouse Sparks Debate | Fresno News

A prosecutor is stabbed at the Fresno courthouse in a shocking attack that’s reigniting debates over mental health, justice system failures, and whether the assault was targeted or the result of severe psychosis. Dustin Crawford, accused of attempted murder of a public official, faces life in prison if convicted—but his defense is complicated by his brother’s claims he suffers from untreated mental illness, hears voices, and may not even recognize the prosecutor. The brother also reveals Dustin lived with their mother, who obtained a restraining order against him and called authorities repeatedly. With no lawyer available due to conflicts of interest, Crawford’s arraignment was delayed until September 9th, as security tightens around the courthouse amid mounting tension.
