  • Psychiatrist: Ex-doctor charged in hepatitis case competent to stand trial

    Posted 34 mins ago

    A psychiatrist who evaluated hepatitis case defendant Dipak Desai for six months while he was at the state’s Lakes Crossing mental health unit in Sparks testified today that he thought the former Las Vegas physician was exaggerating the extent of his memory loss. Dr. Steven Zuchowski testified via video teleconferencing before Clark County District Judge Kathleen Delaney. Zuchowski said he wouldn’t change his opinion — that despite some brain damage from two strokes, Desai was competent to stand trial.
