UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DEMETRIUS ALLEN HALL
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On June 2, 2014 the Court ordered a forensic psychological examination of defendant Demetrius Allen Hall in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 4241(a) and (b) to assess both his mental competency for trial and his criminal responsibility for the charged offense. (Doc. 90.) Pursuant to the Court's order, Hall underwent a comprehensive psychological evaluation at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina. His evaluators found that he is competent to stand trial and was sane at the time of the offense. (Doc. 99.)
Both defendant and the government stipulate to the report's findings. (Doc. 118.) The Court concurs with the unrebutted findings in the forensic report that the defendant is not presently suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent to stand trial and was not insane at the time he committed the offense. It is therefore RECOMMENDED that defendant be found competent to stand trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241.
SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED this 13th day of November, 2014.
