The suspect in the stabbing of an Indiana University student has history of 'severe mental illness': attorney
Indiana University students react to recent anti-Asian violence after student stabbed on city bus
In a statement emailed to CNN, Kyle Dugger said people close to the suspect describe no racist attitudes or history. "I would caution the public not to jump to conclusions about a person's thoughts or beliefs based on police claims from a single interview, and advise even more caution when the interview was taken from a person in custody who may be experiencing psychosis," Dugger wrote.
Duggar also asked the court to schedule a competency hearing. Two court-appointed psychiatrists will evaluate whether Davis was insane at the time of the alleged incident and if she's competent to stand trial, Dugger wrote in his emailed statement. The judge will make the final decision about her competency, likely in about three to six months, he said.
