Brady Ebert, an ex–Turnstile guitarist, is set to undergo a competency evaluation after he threatens to “fire” his lawyer during an attempted murder hearing, according to multiple reports. The case context is an ongoing prosecution related to alleged attempted murder.
Both outlets say the court questions his competency after the confrontation in the courtroom. Ebert disputes the allegations, telling the court he is “perfectly competent” and arguing that elements of the police report are inaccurate. He also says he intends to file charges against various participants in the case, including police officers, prosecutors, and defense attorneys.
While the reporting focuses on the same courtroom event and the resulting competency issue, the outlets differ slightly in emphasis: one frames the development as the judge ordering an evaluation following the threat, while the other highlights Ebert’s claim of competence and his assertion that the police account is false. In both accounts, the threat to his lawyer becomes the immediate trigger for the court’s competency review rather than a resolution of the underlying allegations.
