SALEM – The status hearing for suspended Peabody Police Officer George Sideris, who is accused of beating his elderly mother into a coma on Thanksgiving in 2004, was delayed Monday because a transcript of a November court appearance was not available to the judge.Sideris, who was ruled not fit to stand trial, but not a danger to himself or others earlier this year, is hoping to have that decision reversed so that he can stand trial and clear his name.But following a brief afternoon hearing, Judge Howard J. Whitehead determined it would be best to delay the status hearing because of the missing transcripts, and put off any decision making until Jan. 29, which was the earliest date that the involved attorneys could agree upon.Whitehead said he is also hoping that a second mental health evaluation ordered last month by Assistant District Attorney Karen Hopwood would be available prior to that date.Sideris was visibly eager and pointed in his remarks throughout the hearing, pleading with Whitehead to allow him to submit carbon copies of complaints filed against his attorney, Steven J. Rappaport, along with an excerpt from Thomas Jefferson’s “Founders of Religion” to the court.Sideris has referenced the latter in previous court dates, but insisted his remarks about separation of church and state were misunderstood by the court and misinterpreted by the media.His attempts to clarify those remarks and again submit the passage to the court were cut short by Whitehead, who reminded Sideris that Monday’s court date was more to “tie up loose ends” than make any actual rulings in the case.Sideris, who has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal but allegedly admitted guilt to a priest close to the family, insisted that he is not receiving a fair and speedy trail and wants to get the trial over so he can “go back to my job with the city and travel freely in the city of Peabody without getting harassed.”Rappaport was once again in attendance representing Sideris, despite his client’s claims that he will sue him for misrepresentation after the case is complete.Rappaport, Sideris’ fourth attorney since his arrest, does not feel that his client is fit to stand trial, despite his vocal desire to do so. Because of this disagreement, Rappaport says Sideris is no longer speaking to him, and has attempted to seek counsel elsewhere.”I do understand my responsibility as an officer to this court, however Mr. Sideris has informed me that he does not want me associated with this case,” Rappaport told Whitehead. “He will not abide by any advice, thus he has effectively been without counsel since leaving (a psychological review at Bridgewater State Hospital).”Sideris was to stand trial June 11 for the 2004 beating of his then 73-year-old mother, Melpomenti Sideris, at their 9 Ellsworth St. home. But following the examination at Bridgewater State Hospital, it was found that he is not competent to stand trial. Sideris has been fighting that ruling sine the June trial, claiming that the psychiatrist pressured him in to “psychological duress.”Hopwood ordered an independent second evaluation of Sideris by Dr. Malcolm Rodgers in November, which Rappaport supported, but that evaluation is not yet complete.In addition to the second evaluation, Rappaport suggested the court appoint a guardian in lieu of legal counsel for his client, who says he is having trouble finding another attorney because of his threats to sue Rappaport. A guardian was not appointed at Monday’s court hearing.Sideris is allowed supervised visits with his mother, now 76, who is living in a Lynn nursing home and is said to be unresponsive. Because he is not considered a threat to anyone, Sideris is free to live at his Walnut Street apartment until the Jan. 29 hearing.
