The man accused in the murder of TCU student Wes Smith will undergo a full mental health evaluation to determine if he is sane enough to stand trial.

Lawyers for Matthew Purdy asked the judge to authorize a psychological exam to be conducted by a clinical psychologist who will try to determine if Purdy is competent enough to assist his lawyers in his own defense.


In early September, Smith was fatally shot as he came out of a bar in Fort Worth's West 7th Street entertainment district. Police detectives said Purdy could never give a coherent explanation for his actions.
