00:31who cited his client's history of schizophrenia
00:33and argued that a mental examination was necessary
00:36to determine whether the accused was fit to stand trial.

00:42and was stable as recently as February this year,
00:45but stopped taking his medication after that.

01:14the back of his head and his ribs.
01:16When the charge was read out to him in court,
01:19the accused responded that he was suffering from black magic
01:22and could not remember.
01:23The charge is framed under Section 307 of the Penal Court,
01:27which carries a prison term of up to 10 years
