For the second time, the man accused of killing two teenagers behind a Roswell supermarket told a Fulton County judge Friday he isn't getting his medication.
“I’m still not on the right medication, judge,” Jeffrey Hazelwood said during a brief status hearing.
Judge Shawn LaGrua replied that she had told Hazelwood’s attorneys who to contact at the jail but said she couldn’t do more.
“I can’t direct them specifically how to medicate you because I’m not a doctor,” LaGrua said.
Hazelwood said he had no other questions or concerns and was led out of the courtroom after less than five minutes. He is expected to return to court for a motions hearing Jan. 25.
At a Dec. 15 hearing, Hazelwood also told the judge he wasn't receiving his medication. Attorney Lawrence Zimmerman, who is representing Hazelwood along with a capital defender, has said the 20-year-old was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia, Asperger's syndrome, multiple personality disorder and bipolar disorder.
Hazelwood is accused of shooting and killing Natalie Henderson and Carter Davis, both 17, in the early morning hours Aug. 1 behind a Publix store, according to Roswell police. In October, a grand jury indicted Hazelwood on 15 counts, including murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, aggravated sexual battery, financial transaction card theft, identity fraud, theft by taking and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
In November, Hazelwood pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in LaGrua's courtroom. He is being held without bond at the Fulton jail.
