The former Loudoun County sheriff’s deputy charged with stealing more than $200,000 from the office’s asset forfeiture program has an unusual reason that federal prosecutors might not be able to put him on trial. He has a 12- or 14-year gap in his memory. A federal judge on Friday ordered that 44-year-old Frank Pearson undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he is competent to understand the legal proceedings in the case and help his defense. The reason his attorneys sought it: “Mr. Pearson has no memory of events that occurred after 2001.” It’s not just his alleged crimes that Pearson says he can’t recall, though prosecutors say those occurred between 2010 and October 2013, well inside the period of purported amnesia. Defense attorneys said that after Pearson’s wife found him unresponsive on the bathroom floor of the family’s home in October 2013 and had him taken to a hospital, Pearson said that it was 2001 and that he did not recognize friends whom he had met after that year. |
How convenient for him.
