2/7/25 Update: Coleman's drawn-out three-year wait for trial has been delayed numerous times as courts decide whether he is mentally competent to face murder charges, with a judge ruling this week that the issue must be decided by 2/18/25. Sources told the New York Post that his mental health has continued to deteriorate behind bars. He has repeatedly attempted to mutilate himself while under supervision. This has reportedly included cutting himself with a razor, slamming his head against the floor, punching himself in the face & diving headfirst into a toilet. Attorneys for Coleman only have until Feb. 18 to agree to a treatment plan for the QAnon disciple. The judge overseeing the case, Cathy Ann Bencivengo, has said that she won't grant further extensions to Coleman's defense to respond in court to the federal Bureau of Prisons' treatment plans.
