(New Haven Register) A Hamden man charged with attempting to provide material support for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham was found mentally incapable of participating in his own defense Wednesday, delaying adjudication of his case.
Kevin Iman McCormick, 27, was arrested in October 2019 and charged with the offense, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Connecticut.
Judge Kari A. Dooley, citing an analysis from Dr. Hassan M. Minhas, placed McCormick Wednesday into the custody of the state attorney’s office, so that he could be taken to receive care, with the goal of restoring his mental fitness.
Minhas’ report was filed under seal as an exhibit in the case. Both defense attorney Allison Near and federal prosecutor Douglas Morabito formally agreed with the conclusions of the report as part of Wednesday’s hearing.
