Casey Brezik, accused community-college stabber, incompetent to stand trial

Casey Brezik won’t be going to trial for stabbing a community-college official, and the Star reported that Brezik has been committed to the Missouri Department of Mental Health.

In September, the 23-year-old student allegedly slashed the throat of a dean at Metropolitan Community College. His intended target was Missouri Gov. Jay

Nixon, who was scheduled to speak at

the Penn Valley campus but canceled

after learning of the attack. Brezik is accused of attacking 55-year-old Al Dimmitt Jr., who has recovered from his injuries.  He’s also accused of nicking the

school’s chancellor, Mark James, who was trying to pull

Brezik off Dimmitt.
