PLYMOUTH – The man charged with murder after his SUV slammed into the glass facade of the Apple Store in Hingham is returning home after a 40-day mental health evaluation, but not without first receiving a stern lecture from the judge who made the ruling.
Bradley Rein was at Plymouth Superior Court on Monday, Feb. 5, to learn whether his $100,000 bail would be reinstated after he failed to keep his GPS monitor charged for a second time in December.
Rein last appeared in Plymouth Superior Court on Dec. 27 after he was arrested on the repeat count of not keeping his GPS monitor charged.
According to the district attorney’s office, Rein allowed his GPS to lose power Friday, Dec. 22.
Rein was taken into custody for the same reason this past September.
At that time, the state moved to revoke Rein’s bail and asked that he be held. Judge Diane Freniere ordered Rein’s $100,000 bail revoked for 60 days. He was released around Thanksgiving, a prosecutor said.
Rein’s attorney, Joan Fund, raised the issue of her client’s mental health at the Dec. 27 hearing. The judge at that hearing ordered Rein to be held for an initial 20-day mental health commitment at a Department of Mental Health inpatient facility after an evaluation of Rein by court-designated forensic psychologist Karen Towers, who said he appeared disoriented and unemotional. He was held without bail during that time.
