The attorney for accused Martinsville West Middle School gunman, Michael Phelps, has requested a psychological evaluation for his client. I can already guess what it’s going to say. Something like the 15-year-old Phelps’ brain isn’t developed enough to truly understand his actions which is a load of crap, but I digress.

Also, prosecutors are looking to try to have Phelps tried as an adult. A hearing for that is scheduled for April 18th.

Phelps is accused of shooting fellow student Chance Jackson in the abdomen at the school. Chance has been upgraded to fair condition after undergoing two surgeries.

Phelps’ lawyer is trying to keep the case in juvenile court saying that Phelps never knew his biological father and that he’s scared of going to prison. I don’t know what not knowing his father has anything to do with it but if he wanted to stay out of prison he should have thought of that before he pulled the trigger.
