A DC Superior Court judge granted a defense attorney’s request for a forensic mental exam, which will evaluate if her client is competent to stand trial.

On April 29, Tamer Castle was charged with second-degree burglary for an incident that occurred the previous day on the 1300 block of 9th Street, NW.

Castle’s defense attorney, Angela Ramsey, requested that the defendant be scheduled for a mental exam due to concerns about his mental health.

Judge Todd Edelman granted this request. A hearing to discuss the results is scheduled for July 14.
