The Patriot Ledger had an interesting piece about the criminal trial of Sean Ebert and whether he is competent to stand trial. Ebert suffered a brain injury 15 years ago as a 10-year-old boy. Pembroke police say Ebert sexually abused a young girl from 2001 to 2004, starting when he was 16. His Massachusetts lawyer and doctor say Ebert, now 25, is not competent to adequately participate in his own defense.
