KUWAIT CITY: The Court of Appeals Tuesday denied a request by Khaled Messier Al-Shimmari's lawyer, Nawaf Sari Al-Mutairi, to refer his client to the nut house Psychiatric Hospital until a decision is taken in the case and ordered his continued detention in police custody. The court then adjourned the session to June 2, 2003, to summon doctors of the Psychiatric Hospital who have prepared a report on the psychological state of Al-Shimmari, a Kuwait police officer who shot and injured two American soldiers, Master Sergeant Larry Thomas and Sergeant Charles Ellis last November. On March 5, 2003, the Criminal Court sentenced Al-Shimmari to 15 years — 10 years for attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed gun and ammunition and 5 years for taking an official weapon from his workplace without permission. The court also ordered his dismissal from work and fined him KD 316.
