## Resource

Travis Tierney, the ex-brain surgeon facing serious child sex assault charges, made major courtroom moves this week — opting for a bench trial and waiving his right to a speedy trial — as his insanity plea continues to dominate the case. Despite state psychiatrists confirming his competency to stand trial, a judge ordered a new evaluation to determine if he was legally insane at the time of the alleged crimes, with results expected months away. Tierney remains in custody, with his next court date set for August 25th, as the legal battle unfolds.
