Joseph C. Steyskal, the former Divinity School student who threatened to kill President Pusey, will appear in Federal Court at 11:30 this morning. Steyskal, who was indicted several weeks ago by a grand jury, is being held in Charles Street Jail.
The Court will hear a report from Dr. Henry Merton Baker on the mental condition of Steyskal. According to Federal prosecutor Gail Mahoney, Baker will testify that Steyskal should not stand trial, being unable to understand the nature of the charges against him or assist in preparing his defense.
If the Court should agree with the psychiatrist's findings, Steyskal will then be committed to a mental hospital until he is able to defend himself or until the indictment against him is dismissed.
