DeCarlos Brown, the Racist Killer Who Slit Iryna Zarutska's Throat for No Reason Other Than Her Race, Found by Psychiatrists to be Too Mentally Incompetent to be Tried for Murder

The judge will now decide whether to accept this report.

If she does accept -- I assume it's a she because that's how these things I always go -- at some point, we're just going to "bypass" the judges and juries.

This will not be allowed to go on forever.

Justice will be done. Whether in an orderly way or a disorderly way -- justice will be done.

The deranged homeless man accused of savagely butchering Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, on a Charlotte light rail train has been found "incapable to proceed" on state murder charges.

According to a motion filed April 7, Decarlos Brown Jr. was evaluated Dec. 29 at Central Regional Hospital, and the subsequent report determined he was not competent to stand trial, according to WBTV.

This article is written vaguely, so I'm forced to guess at the procedural aspects here. What I'm guessing is that a defense "expert" found he was incapable of standing trial, just as the client, the defense, wanted.

I'm not sure though. This whole report is sketchy and, frankly, amateurish.

The results were previously sealed in state court, and were only revealed as the motion was filed.

A judge must now determine whether to accept the report's findings, and the case against him will likely be delayed until his capacity is determined to be "restored" by the court, the station reported.

In the motion filed by Brown's public defender, he claimed the court-required capacity hearing cannot take place with the accused killer in federal custody, and that the court also can't order to have his capacity restored.

Brown has been in federal custody in Chicago since a grand jury indicted him on Oct. 22 for violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system causing death.

He's been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation pursuant to his federal case, but court filings viewed by the outlet last month show it hasn't been completed and that the evaluation period has been extended.

See? There the article says the evaluation hasn't been completed, but it also claims some report -- maybe this one, maybe another one -- was completed and found him too incapable to be tried.

This is why I'm forced to guess that there are two separate reports, the official one which is incomplete, and one performed by a psychiatrist hired by the defense, which, of course, found him incompetent.

The outlet reports that restoring competency can take a long time in North Carolina because of limited space in state psychiatric facilities, and said it's not uncommon for defendants to wait a year or more for a bed to open up.

Brown, 35, whose mother told The Post is schizophrenic, was arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery dating back to 2007.

At the time of the senseless attack in late August, he was free on cashless bail after a magistrate released him with a "written promise" to show up for court after placing a bogus 911 call.
