Mental illness has caused Howard's thoughts to be disorganized and he suffers from delusions and auditory hallucinations, which have impaired his ability to meaningfully consult with his attorneys, they said. Howard is accused of shooting and injuring Craig Leopaul and Ameen Alfata and shooting at Lafayette Officer Logan Signater in a Moss Street convenience store in 2017. The 31-year-old also faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of police Cpl. Michael Middlebrook the same night. A trial date has not been set in that capital case. Howard pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in both cases. The doctors will have 30 days to complete their reports, which will be filed under seal, Garrett said in court. If the doctors disagree, Garrett said she'll ask a third one to complete a report.
