The public defender for a man accused of throwing an incendiary device at Sam Altman’s home says her client has autism and was experiencing an “acute mental health crisis.” San Francisco Deputy Public Defender Diamond Ward said Tuesday that Daniel Moreno-Gama has been overcharged by prosecutors. He faces charges including attempted murder. She says prosecutors have overcharged Moreno-Gama to curry favor with Altman, who is the chief executive officer of OpenAI. Authorities say he targeted Altman and was motivated by his hatred of AI technology. The San Francisco District Attorney says prosecutors have evidence to back up their charges. The suspect was ordered held without bail and his arraignment was set for May 5.
