Stabbing suspect gets probation for rape

A youth who has been incarcerated as being the main suspect in the stabbing of three college students was given two years of probation for a separate case.

Justice Lawrence Brown, 17, was ordered to fulfill two years of probation and psychological treatment Tuesday after admitting sexual intercourse without consent July 20.

Brown went through a psychosexual evaluation as part of the case.

Marla North, a counselor who was the main witness at the deliberation, said after spending hours evaluating Brown, he showed signs of major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and others.

"He has an impulsive personality," North said.

North said Brown did not have a lot of support or a stable lifestyle. A history of family violence was expressed.

Brown was being tried as a juvenile in this case, as he was 16 at the time he committed the crime, but will be tried as an adult in the case to do with the stabbings.

May 2, around 4:30 a.m., officers responded to a call about three people being stabbed multiple times - a total of 82 times. One victim was able to give a description to police, which Brown matched.

The last of the victims to be released from hospitals was released Tuesday.

Brown goes to trial Nov. 16 for three charges of attempted deliberate homicide and one charge of attempted burglary.
