Doctor finds Prince competent to stand trial in Advanced Granite Solutions shootings
January 28, 2019
"In an apparent reversal, a doctor found Radee Prince, the man accused of killing three people and injuring two others at Advanced Granite Solutions in Edgewood in October 2017, competent to stand trial in the case.
Prince, 39, of Elkton, was in court briefly Monday in Harford County Circuit Court for motions hearings.
The first matter to be addressed in the case against Prince — he’s charged with three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, use of a felony in a violent crime and illegal possession of a regulated firearm — was whether he’s mentally competent to stand trial, Judge Yolanda Curtin said during the hearing.
Public defender John Janowich, who is representing Prince, told Curtin that last week the doctor performing the competency evaluation said she intended to find Prince not competent, but on Friday evening he received an email that she was finding him competent....
Curtin said the court asked the doctor for a copy of her formal report by the end of the day Monday so both sides would have time to review it before continuing the motions hearing. If she could not produce the report, Curtin said, she would call her to testify Tuesday “to get something on the record.”...
Another motion was filed for a change of venue, according to court records, which also indicate state prosecutors are seeking a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. Feb. 25 and the two-week trial is set to begin Feb. 27...."
