A suspect charged with the brutal stabbing of a staffer for Senator Rand Paul has been declared unfit to stand trial. The suspect, Glynn Neal, allegedly attacked Phillip Todd in broad daylight on a busy Washington, D.C. street as Todd left a restaurant with a friend. The judge has ordered Neal to remain in jail while undergoing psychological evaluations, with his next court date scheduled for September.
Todd sustained severe injuries to his head, abdomen, lungs, and brain, including a deep head wound. Remarkably, he and his friend managed to escape and contact emergency services. Neal, who had been released from prison just a day before the attack, previously served over 12 years for forcing a woman into prostitution and making threats of kidnapping and injury. He reportedly claimed to have heard voices prompting the assault.
Senator Paul expressed his dismay over the suspect's recent release, drawing a parallel to the dangers of traveling in certain foreign countries. He voiced concerns about the rising crime rates plaguing major U.S. cities. Statistics show a 3% increase in violent crime in D.C. this year, with a staggering 32% jump in homicides.
