A jury has found that Marcus Floyd's claims of amnesia did not make him unfit for trial in 2015 for CPD officer Thomas Wortham IV's shooting death.
CHICAGO -- A jury found Thursday that a man serving a life sentence for killing a Chicago police officer in 2010 was fit to stand trial when he was convicted in 2015.
Floyd, 30, claims he cannot recall details that would have allowed him to participate in his defense due to the retrograde amnesia from the brain injury. Dr. Erick Neu, a clinical psychologist who works for the Circuit Court of Cook County, said Floyd was able to understand and explain the role of the judge in his trial, what witnesses testified about and about the evidence that was presented when he was evaluated last year.
Neu added that his evaluation was to determine if Floyd could have understood what was happening and assist in his defense, not whether he could remember what happened on the night of the shooting.Marcus Floyd gets life without parole for Officer Thomas Wortham's murder
