From KERA News:
“During his six months in the Tarrant County Jail, Kai’Yere Campbell kept asking his mom, “Am I going home?”
“…Campbell is intellectually and developmentally disabled, according to Taylor, and a schizophrenia diagnosis in 2021 added another challenge. At 21, he can’t remember phone numbers, addresses or the year he graduated high school.”
“…People with disabilities like Campbell’s have a long road ahead of them, said Beth Mitchell, an attorney and litigation coordinator for Disability Rights Texas.”
“They’re the most vulnerable population of individuals found incompetent to stand trial,” she said. “And they’re the ones who will remain on the list the longest.”
