The competency of two defendants in two separate non-fatal shooting cases was the topic of discussion before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Gale E. Rasin during mental health court on Wednesday.
Among the cases was Baltimore resident Allen Brown, 29, who was evaluated to be competent for trial after withdrawing from a Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) plea agreement on June 23.
Brown was represented by defense attorney Brandon Mead.
Brown is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, reckless endangerment, firearm use in a violent crime, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, handgun in a vehicle within 100 yards of a place of public assembly, carrying a handgun on his person, discharging a gun in Baltimore City, and two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree assault.
The court does not have his condition of release upon discharge from the mental health hospital at this time.
Brown is currently waiting for a trial date.
The judge also presided over a non-fatal shooting case for 30-year-old Nolan Floyd. The defendant’s competency is still undecided after a medical evaluation. His doctor stated that he was not willing to give an opinion to the court until next week.
Floyd is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, having a deadly weapon with the intent to injure, firearm use in a violent crime, illegal possession of ammunition, firearm possession with a felony conviction, carrying a handgun on his person, and two counts of discharging firearms.
Defense attorneys Andrea Jaskulsky and Chantal Joseph scheduled a meeting with Judge Rasin for July 1.
If Floyd is determined to be competent, his trial is scheduled for July 19.
