A judge orders Brady Ebert, a former guitarist for the band Turnstile, to undergo a competency evaluation before he can stand trial on attempted murder charges. The case centers on allegations that he intentionally used his car to run over William Yates, 79, the father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates.
According to reports, Ebert is held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Boyds, Maryland, while court proceedings move forward. The charges against him have been upgraded to attempted first-degree murder, and prosecutors argue the incident involved an intentional act rather than an accident.
The outlets agree on the procedural step now required: a judicial review of Ebert’s competency to participate in trial. They differ mainly in emphasis, with one outlet focusing on the life-in-prison exposure tied to the upgraded charge, while another details his detention status and the timing of the ordered evaluation.
