Trial Delayed in Brewer Burning Case

The trial of one of the teens charged in the Michael Brewer burning attack was delayed Monday after a judge ordered a psychological evaluation to determine his competency. Matthew Aaron Bent, 17, is charged with second-degree attempted murder in the Oct. 12, 2009 attack at a Deerfield Beach apartment complex. He faces up to 30 years in prison. Bent’s lawyer, Gordon Weekes, has said his client never told another teen, who has pleaded guilty, to pour the alcohol on Brewer and said that he was just a witness to the attack.
