Savinon’s attorney had requested the psychological review and the court agreed to have it performed. Now Savinon a preliminary hearing will be schuled to determine if there’s sufficient evidence to hold a full trial. Savinon is charged with kidnapping, torture, attempted murder, making a death threat, assault with a deadly weapon and preventing or dissuading a victim using threat or force.
