In a motion filed Thursday, attorney Matt Pippen said his client Jacob Gonzalez would have already served out his maximum possible sentence if he had been convicted of the charges against him. But he is still waiting for an evaluation by the state to determine if he is competent to stand trial.

Metro Department of Corrections Director Jerry Collins said the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center in La Grange  has begun working here and around the state to perform some evaluations through video conferences or coming to the facilities.

The Jefferson Commonwealth's Attorney's office objected and noted that there is nearly a year backlog for competency evaluations at the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center in La Grange.
