DETROIT (AP) — A lawyer for a man accused of shooting a Detroit officer during a chase says a psychiatric review has found his client incompetent to stand trial.
Twenty-one-year-old Marquise Cromer is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Sgt. Ken Steil. Steil died unexpectedly Sept. 17 of a blood clot, five days after being shot in the shoulder.
Cromer’s lawyer, Sanford Schulman, tells the Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/2gOJXEL ) that he met with prosecutors Tuesday to discuss the state forensic center’s report. The Wayne County prosecutor’s office has requested an independent competency evaluation.
