WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A judge has agreed to halt court proceedings
against former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle until he
receives another mental evaluation.
The Wichita Eagle reports that defense
attorney Steven Mank sought the delay Thursday. The prosecution
didn’t object.
The 24-year-old Randle was deemed competent in June to stand trial
on charges that he hit people with his car during a housewarming
party and dodged police trying to serve him with a warrant. He also
is charged in two other cases.
A bench trial set for Thursday in one of the cases didn’t happen
because of Mank’s request. The other three cases had been set for
jury trials next week.
A report from the mental evaluation is expected to be completed
within about two weeks.
