On Oct. 2, a DC Superior Court judge ordered that a defendant continue receiving mental health treatment after he was found incompetent to stand trial for the second time.
Evan Graham is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly threatening and chasing two victims with a knife on March 16 on the 2400 block of 2nd Street, NE.
Judge Michael Ryan found that Graham, 50, was incompetent but likely to regain his competency following a report that the court received from the DC Department of Behavioral Health on Sept. 25.
Graham was transferred from DC Jail to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC psychiatric institution, on July 23. He was first deemed incompetent to stand trial, but likely to regain competency, on Aug. 21.
Graham will continue receiving treatment at St. Elizabeth’s.
The defendant’s progress will be evaluated during his next mental observation hearing, which is scheduled for Nov. 4.
