Summary: Accused To Have Tests (Press, 24 August 1973)
On 24 August 1973, authorities in Houston took significant legal steps regarding two young men implicated in a horrific case of multiple homicides involving 27 boys. A judge, William Hatten, mandated psychiatric evaluations for Elmer Wayne Henley, 17, and David Owen Brooks, 18. This decision came after the prosecution argued that the sheer scale and brutality of the crimes warranted a thorough examination of the youths' mental health and competency to stand trial. Currently, Henley faces charges in three murder indictments, while Brooks is associated with one murder indictment, all linked to what has been described as the largest multiple killing in modern American history.
