Brown Found Incompetent in Rail Killing Case

DeCarlos Brown, accused in the fatal light rail attack on Iryna Zarutska, has been declared incompetent to stand trial — unable to understand charges or assist in his defense. Ordered into treatment, likely with medication, his prognosis is deemed good by prosecutors. During the hearing, Brown exhibited erratic behavior, questioning paperwork, referencing bodily materials, and accusing the FBI and judge. His family’s lawyer says they expected this outcome and remain hopeful for his restoration and eventual trial. If he can’t regain competency, he may face civil commitment. A follow-up hearing is set in four months, though an earlier review is possible. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
