Defendant Is Competent to Stand Trial, Judge Says

On Sept. 3, a DC Superior Court judge declared a defendant competent to stand trial.

Marvin Davis is charged with panhandling, contempt and unlawful entry onto public property. 

Defense attorney Samuel Bogash asked Judge Julie Becker for more time to look over the report on his client’s competency, which the court received from the Bureau of Legal Services on Aug. 28. 

Judge Becker scheduled a status hearing for Oct. 1. 

Davis, 24, picked up his charges for allegedly panhandling two people at the Washington Union Station in Northeast, DC on Aug. 13, according to court documents. He also allegedly touched one of the two individuals, who was shrinking away from him. Davis was ordered to stay away from the station several times before the incident.
