(Murder Suspect in court this week)....Brandon Hamlin is accused of murdering an elderly Brawley couple.

During the proceedings, defense attorney's asked that their client under-go a mental evaluation. They said they were not sure Hamlin was mentally competent enough to stand trial. The prosecution did not have a problem with the request. There will be a pause in the proceeding to allow a Doctor to evaluate the suspect, and then submit a report with a recommendation to the court as to whether the defendant is able to stand trial. There was no timeline given for the evaluaion.
