Fitness evaluation ordered for defendant in stabbing

Fitness Comments Off on Fitness evaluation ordered for defendant in stabbing

Judge Tom Tedeschi ordered a fitness evaluation for Jacob C. Reed, 18, of West Frankfort during his preliminary hearing Thursday afternoon in Franklin County court.

Reeds attorney, Terry M. Green, petitioned the court for the fitness evaluation after the court found a bona fide doubt exists as to his mental state.

Documents filed state that Reed is being held in an isolation cell of the Franklin County Jail Facility because authorities believe he poses a danger to himself or other inmates.

Green filed the motion on June 20, 10 days after the defendant allegedly battered, stabbed and cut a victim with a knife. The two counts of aggravated battery and stabbing are a Class 3 felony.

In Greens motion, the defense attorney states that Reed has repeatedly been seen by counselors of The H Group to gauge his mental status and safety risk while the defendant is incarcerated.

Reed has a history of psychotropic treatment and is taking prescribed medication for schizophrenia. He made statements at the time of the offense that he hears voices.

Reed remains in jail on $10,000 bond and is ordered to have no contact with the victim in the case.

A fitness status hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. Aug. 9.
