Mentaly Retarded Man Denied His 6th Amendment Rights
Man Held Without Trial for 14 Years:
Prosecutors Won’t Release Mentally Retarded Man, but He Can’t Be Brought to Trial
Floyd Brown’s psychiatrists in Dorothea Dix Hospital say he can’t tell time or the difference between right and left. He has trouble handling money, naming the day of the week or remembering the name of the mental institution where he has been held against his will for the last 14 years.
But, according to his regular psychiatric reports, family members and lawyers, the 43-year-old has been consistent about two things as the years have passed: He didn’t kill Katherine Lynch 14 years ago and he wants to go home.
