REED CITY â An 18-year-old Evart teen charged with several felony offenses during his arraignment last month in 77th District Court alleging he stabbed a child multiple times will undergo forensic evaluations.
Osceola County Prosecutor Tony Badovinac said Isaac Brant Wilkinson will undergo forensic examinations before any more court proceedings occur. The examinations are for criminal responsibility and competency. Wilkinson originally was scheduled for a preliminary examination in district court Thursday.
Criminal responsibility means deciding if the defendant should be deemed responsible or not for the alleged crime based upon their mental or emotional state at the time of the offense.
