A Baltimore City resident previously convicted for a 1973 double homicide was reported compliant and doing well during a status check in mental health court on Sept. 6.
Gold Leroy Bass, Jr., represented by defense attorney Sharon Bogins Eberhart, was previously released and now lives with his family under pretrial supervision. Bass’ presence was waived because of his compliance with his mental health treatment plan.
Baltimore City Court Judge Gale E. Rasin scheduled Bass’ next status check on Oct. 4.
Bass was found guilty of first-degree murder and firearm use in a felony violent crime in 1973 for the murders of 31-year-old Harry McGee and 27-year-old Nathaniel Sheppard.
The 73-year-old was scheduled for a retrial after serving 46 years in prison, but mental health professionals found him incompetent to stand trial and not restorable due to ongoing medical issues on May 10.
