Jennifer Aniston's 'stalker' showcases dramatic new look as judge rules whether he can stand trial
Jennifer Aniston 's alleged stalker - who believes he is Jesus Christ and she is his 'queen' - debuted a dramatic new look during his latest court appearance. Blinking under the bright lights before Judge Maria Cavalluzzi, bespectacled Jimmy Wayne Carwyle shuffled into the courtroom wearing yellow jail garb during a mental health hearing at a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing in Hollywood on Thursday. Though still disheveled looking, gone was the 48-year-old's wild, unkempt greying hair and big, messy beard that had made his previous court appearances so striking and unsettling. Carwyle, in wrist shackles with a sheriff's deputy next to him, wore an awkward smirk as he stared out from behind a glass walled enclosure in Department 103. The back of his shirt read 'LA County Jail XXL.' It was announced by his public defender that a second opinion mental health analysis of his client had also revealed the Mississippi native mentally unfit to stand trial. During a previous hearing the week before, the same court was told that a first report on Carwyle by Dr. Phani Tumu had deemed him not able to take part in criminal proceedings. But Carwyle had requested a second opinion and so another analysis was performed by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Kory Knapke which, the latest hearing was informed, had also concluded the suspect is mentally unfit to continue with the case. 'He is not competent to stand trial so although I know it's not the outcome my client would have preferred at this time I would submit on those two reports,' public defender Robert Krauss informed the court. Deputy District Attorney William Donovan said: 'The people will also submit.' And with that, Judge Cavalluzzi said from the bench, 'The court finds that the defendant is not presently competent to stand trial. Criminal proceedings are suspended.' An 'interest of justice' hearing was scheduled for June 26 when Aniston or her attorney Blair Berk will be able to provide impact statements. A more detailed report on Carwyle will be compiled by independent analyst Dr. Tumu at a cost of $1,100 to determine how to proceed with treatment for him. The hearing ended after four minutes and 20 seconds and Carwyle left to be transported by an Los Angeles Sheriff's Department coach back to the infamous Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles. HE was arrested by LAPD officers on May 5 after ramming his car into the front gates of the Friends star's breathtaking $21 million hilltop Bel-Air home. Prosecutors say Carwyle 'repeatedly' harassed Aniston between March 1, 2023 to May 5, 2025, sending her 'unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages.' In addition to stalking and vandalism charges, Carwyle was facing a charge for aggravating the threat of great bodily harm. His estranged wife Julia Carwyle, 48, previously told Daily Mail exclusively that he believes himself to be Jesus Christ and Aniston, 56, is his 'queen.' 'He believes he was Jesus Christ and that she was supposed to be his queen,' she recalled. 'His mentality is nothing like it used to be. Something has triggered him. I don't know if he's having a midlife crisis or what.' She said at some point that he must have 'flipped' and that something had 'manifested that we're all not aware of. 'It's something that's between him and his maker. Mental illness is real. It does not discriminate. He's going through a lot right now.' Julia said Carwyle's family are 'pretty upset' by recent events. Unearthed social media posts described a disturbing desire to marry Aniston from an account with the suspect's name Added Julia: 'He's put me through literal hell. It took a toll on me for the past four years in every aspect - it's not been good. 'I've got a restraining order on him since we split up. He's been stalking me the same way [as Aniston] and he's not a very good person.' She said she was unaware of her husband's apparent obsession with the beloved TV and movie star. The couple did not watch a lot of television while living together, and Aniston didn't come up in conversation, she said. 'Jimmy had a secret life I knew nothing about,' said Julia. 'We never even watched her. The whole time we've been together he never went on about her.' She last saw her husband in September on the day he headed off on his latest California odyssey in an attempt to meet with Aniston, who was inside her home at the time he crashed into the property, although the two did not come face to face. 'He went to California six months ago,' said Julia. 'He left in September and went and I haven't seen him since he left. He was leaving that day to go. 'He was going there because he was going to meet up with Jennifer. He was going to go see her. 'He actually thought he was going to meet Jennifer. I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet. 'So naturally he's doing what anybody would do - he went across the country.' Julia said Carwyle had made three separate trips to California to meet up with the actress. 'He thought 'Maybe she's just going to meet a guy… to take a chance,'' she added. 'That's the way he was thinking.'

Jennifer Aniston's stalker hell PROLONGED by court hearing as creep who broke into her mansion makes appearance
Jennifer Aniston 's alleged stalker has been deemed unfit to stand trial - but he has requested a second opinion. A Los Angeles mental health court heard that Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, has been evaluated by psychiatrist Dr. Phani Tumu. Carwyle, from Mississippi, was arrested on May 5 after ramming his car into the gates of the beloved Friends star's $21 million sprawling hilltop Bel-Air mansion that sits behind 15-feet high privacy hedges. His estranged wife previously told Daily Mail that he believes himself to be Jesus Christ and Aniston, 56, is his 'queen.' 'Dr. Tumu is of the opinion that my client is client is currently incompetent to stand trial,' public defender Robert Krauss told the court on Thursday. 'After speaking with my client he is requesting a second opinion as is his right.' The defendant stood silent facing out into the court from inside a glassed-walled security booth, wearing what appeared to be a vest designed to prevent self harming. Prosecutors say Carwyle 'repeatedly' harassed Aniston between March 1, 2023 to May 5, 2025, sending her 'unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages.' Blair Berk, Aniston's highly respected and high-profile attorney, was also in court. She exchanged words with the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney William Donovan, but did not speak during the proceedings. Dr. Kory Knack, another independent psychiatric evaluator, will be meeting with Carwyle this coming weekend to prepared a second opinion report to determine his competency to stand trial. A follow-up hearing with Carwyle is scheduled for May 29. He is currently detained at the notorious Twin Towers Correctional Facility in LA. The latest developments come after Carwyle's estranged wife, Julia Carwyle, 48, spoke out about her spouse's frightening dark side. She told Daily Mail exclusively: 'He's put me through literal hell. It took a toll on me for the past four years in every aspect - it's not been good. 'I've got a restraining order on him since we split up. He's been stalking me the same way [as Aniston] and he's not a very good person.' She said she was unaware of her husband's apparent obsession with the beloved TV and movie star. The couple did not watch a lot of television while living together, and Aniston didn't come up in conversation, she said. 'Jimmy had a secret life I knew nothing about,' said Julia. 'We never even watched her. The whole time we've been together he never went on about her.' She previously told Daily Mail she last saw her husband in September on the day he headed off on his latest California odyssey in an attempt to meet with Aniston, who was inside her home at the time he crashed into the property, although the two did not come face to face. 'He went to California six months ago,' said Julia. 'He left in September and went and I haven't seen him since he left. He was leaving that day to go. 'He was going there because he was going to meet up with Jennifer. He was going to go see her. 'He actually thought he was going to meet Jennifer. I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet. 'So naturally he's doing what anybody would do - he went across the country.' Julia said Carwyle had made three separate trips to California to meet up with the actress. 'He thought 'Maybe she's just going to meet a guy… to take a chance,'' she added. 'That's the way he was thinking.' Berk declined to comment about Aniston or the case. During his first bizarre court appearance, just days after he crashed into the A-lister's gate, Carwyle showed up shirtless and disoriented. He pleaded not guilty to felony stalking and vandalism charges at the May 8 hearing, when the judge paused proceedings until the accused stalker was evaluated. Even though he remains in jail, the judge had issued a no-contact order between Carwyle and Aniston. Carwyle's lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Toral Malik, said: 'I don´t believe him staying away from Ms. Aniston will be an issue at this time. But at a prosecutors' insistence, Judge Keith L. Schwartz issued the order anyway. 'You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions' the judge said. If Carwyle is convicted, he faces up to three years in prison. But if he is found incompetent again, he could be ordered to a state mental hospital for treatment.
