Police said Darriynn Brown killed 4-year-old Cash Gernon in Southwest Dallas last year. Now, a psychologist and a psychiatrist have found Brown incompetent.
The man accused of kidnapping a young boy from his bed and murdering him may be deemed incompetent to stand trial.
Inside a Dallas County courtroom Friday, a magistrate declared the capital murder suspect incompetent to stand trial. Gernon was in the care of a woman who lived in a home off Saddleridge Drive in Dallas. She knew Brown. The competency decision was made after the prosecution's own psychiatric expert determined, after conducting a mental evaluation, that Brown was unfit to stand trial. The defense's doctor came to the same conclusion months ago.
