Brady Ebert Faces Competency Hearing in Attempted Murder Case

In a dramatic turn of events, former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert is set to undergo a competency evaluation following serious legal troubles. During a recent status hearing, Ebert’s attorney, Mark Sobel, expressed significant concerns about his client’s ability to understand the charges against him and assist in his own defense.

Ebert, who has maintained his innocence regarding the first- and second-degree murder charges stemming from a March incident, has repeatedly claimed that the police report is filled with lies. He asserts that he did not commit the alleged crime of striking 79-year-old William Yates, the father of Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates, with his vehicle.

The legal saga continues as another status hearing is scheduled for September 22, with a trial date set for October 5. If found guilty, Ebert could face a life sentence due to the upgraded attempted first-degree murder charge. This case marks a troubling chapter for the musician, who was with Turnstile since its inception in 2010 before being cut from the band in 2022 due to a pattern of harmful behavior.
