Attorney considers mental exam for suspected airport stabber

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — A man accused of stabbing a police officer at a Michigan airport could receive a mental evaluation before his trial. The Flint Journal reports that defense attorney Joan Morgan on Tuesday told a judge in Flint that she plans to submit a notice to have Amor Ftouhi’s (ah-MOOR’ fuh-TOO’-ee’s) mental capacity evaluated in the event a mental health defense is pursued.
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker said that could delay the Nov. 5 jury trial.
