Nicole Lindon appeared before a Los Angeles judge Monday morning, but the judge rejected a bid to let her out of the city’s Twin Towers Correctional Facility in order to seek psychiatric treatment. The traveling nurse will remain in custody “without bail” and will appear in court again for a trial Monday afternoon, where she will plead not guilty, her attorney, Jacqueline Sparanga, told The Post. “We are disappointed with the judge’s decision,” Sparanga said. “We believe that a mental hospital – where Nicole could not just walk out – is the most appropriate place for her to remain pending this case. There is no question here that this is a car accident related to mental illness and he should be housed in a psychiatric facility where he can receive treatment and undergo the necessary tests to determine what really happened.” Prosecutors allege Nicole Linton was driving 122 to 130 mph when she crashed into several cars and killed six people. Fox 11 LA Prosecutors say evidence shows Linton floored her car for at least five seconds before speeding into the intersection of La Brea and Slauson avenues on Aug. 4 at 122 to 130 mph, crashing into several cars and driving to six counts of murder and five counts of negligent homicide against her. Among the dead was Asherey Ryan, who was pregnant, along with her 11-month-old son Allonzo and her boyfriend, Reynold Lester. The family was reportedly going for a prenatal check-up at the time of the collision. Six people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in the fatal Aug. 4 crash at the busy intersection of La Brea and Slauson avenues in Los Angeles. RMG Lindon’s attorneys argued in their Aug. 29 release motion that the nurse passed out while driving her Mercedes into several cars because of her bipolar disorder or a seizure. They asked that Lindon be released on condition that she be evaluated at UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. But prosecutors claimed a psychiatric evaluation showed no sign of a crisis and vehicle surveillance data and video showed she was in “total control at the wheel,” adding “This NASCAR-worthy performance defies the notion that she was unconscious or incapacitated. .” The aftermath of the deadly fiery crash.
