BALTIMORE, Md. — A convicted murderer accused of killing a state prison guard in Jessup seven years ago has, for a second time, been found mentally incompetent to stand trial after a hearing in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court.
Doctors for the state who evaluated Lamarr Harris, found he would not be able to assist his lawyer in a trial in the death of Cpl. David McGuinn, Anne Arundel State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said.
McGuinn was stabbed to death at the Maryland House of Correction in July 2006. Harris, now 42, is being treated at Clifton T. Perkins Hospital in Jessup.
The finding was not contested and no arguments were heard in the hearing Tuesday, which went about 30 minutes before Judge Paul A. Hackner ruled that Harris was incompetent to stand trial. Harris was represented by two lawyers from the Maryland Office of the Public Defender.
