Nicholas Poehl, one of attorneys of Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 22, last week accused the judge of being determined to hire someone to find his client competent to stand trial and moving to do so behind the scenes, even as he publicly agreed to keep Pagourtzis committed for at least another year at the North Texas State Hospital in Vernon.
