Man Found Guilty of Murdering Roommate to Undergo Competency Evaluation

A Baltimore man convicted last December in the murder of his roommate will undergo a competency evaluation before his sentencing in February.

On Jan. 11, defense counsel Sharon May, representing Lamont Mealy, informed Baltimore City Court Judge Gale E. Rasin that she would be filing for a retrial citing her client’s competency.

May said she questioned her client’s competency during his testimony, but Circuit Court Medical was unable to evaluate him during his trial. She planned to have him evaluated before his sentencing.

In December, Mealy was found guilty of first-degree murder, firearm use in a felony violent crime, firearm possession with a felony conviction, and making a false statement to a police officer in connection with the shooting death of his former roommate, Andrew Wilson.

Judge Rasin ordered the case be reset for two weeks, at which time they will review the results of the emergency evaluation.
