Court-Appointed Expert Finds Muni Stabbing Suspect Bobby Brown Competent To Stand Trial

Psychologist Dr. Amy Watt came to that conclusion in a detailed nine-page report delivered today in court. The contents of that report, minus the sections quoted today in open court, are confidential.

Three of Brown's alleged attacks took place on Muni including the knifing of 11-year-old Hatim Mansori in September on the No. 49 bus.

The next scheduled court date for Brown is Feb. 8. His defense has brought up the possibility of bringing in its own expert to gauge Brown's mental competence. Should the defense contest Watt's finding, the next step in this case would be a trial to determine Brown's mental competence. The date for that potential trial would be set on Feb. 8.
