Competency Hearing for Brewer Burning Suspect

Matthew Aaron Bent, 17, is charged with second-degree attempted murder in the Oct. 12, 2009 attack at a Deerfield Beach apartment complex. He will be tried as an adult and faces up to 30 years in prison. Jury selection in his case was scheduled to begin Monday, but was delayed after a judge ordered a psychological evaluation to determine his competency. On Thursday Bent learned that his trial would move forward.
