There was good news and bad news yesterday for a West Side mom who'd been choked into unconsciousness last summer by a manic-depressive, alcoholic, off-his-meds psychiatrist.
Dr. William Johns - who jumped her and her 2-year-old son Thorin at the New York Waterway terminal - must be committed to a locked psychiatric facility, but only for now.
"He tried to kill me, and he tried to take my son," victim Jill Novenski, 39, said tearfully after yesterday's decision in Manhattan Supreme Court. "Will he never do it again? It's a big question."
In yesterday's decision, Justice Daniel FitzGerald ordered Johns locked up for now. But he also found that Johns, 35, can eventually be discharged with intensive monitoring.
