On Feb. 23, before DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian, a mental observation hearing was delayed due to a request for a full competency exam to be conducted for a non-fatal shooting defendant.
Jordan Therman, 25, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 3900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW. The incident occurred on Feb. 07, 2024, in which two individuals were injured.
On Feb. 21, the court received a preliminary screening report from the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH).
On Feb. 23, parties discussed the content of this report in which a psychiatrist could not form an opinion on Therman’s competency to stand trial, and requested a full competency exam be conducted.
Judge Christian agreed with this request and ordered for a full competency exam to be conducted for Therman.
Parties are to reconvene on April 12.
