Prosecutors requested a second psychological evaluation for the man who shot at Craig Greenberg, the then-mayoral candidate and current Louisville mayor.
In February of 2022, Quintez Brown went to Greenberg’s campaign office in fired a gun six times. Police arrested Brown shortly after and charged him with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment.
Defense attorneys for Brown filed a preliminary report In March 2023 from a psychologist expressing concern over his mental state and recommending a “full battery of neuropsychological testing.” The next day, the defense counsel notified the prosecution of their intent to use an insanity defense.
The full psychological examination completed in November 2023 found that he suffered from a mental disease at the time of the shooting that left him unable to grasp the wrongfulness of his actions.
A motion filed last Wednesday calls that evaluation into question.
The prosecution raised concerns over the effectiveness of the exam and if the previously recommended neuropsychological testing ever happened. They cite a Supreme Court ruling that allows the prosecution to offer their own psychiatric evidence in response to the defense’s.
Prosecutors said that not having their own evaluation “denies the government its most effective manner of rebuttal – the opinion of another expert.”
