Court finds Christopher Falk competent to stand trial; case reset for discovery review
Summary
Based on a May 30 competency evaluation by Dr. Gapon, the presiding judge found Christopher Falk competent to stand trial and reset the case to allow defense counsel time to review additional discovery and media.
The presiding judge took judicial notice of a competency evaluation of Christopher Falk by Dr. Gapon dated May 30 and found Falk competent to stand trial in cause 241891. The court asked whether there was any other evidence on competency; none was presented, and the judge entered a finding of competence.
Defense counsel said additional discovery and media were outstanding and requested time to review the materials. The court granted one reset to allow counsel to obtain the requested media from the district attorney and review it with Falk; parties will either take a plea or move the case to the trial docket at the next setting.
