MEXIA - A native of Mexia that allegedly swindled investors out of $7 billion dollars claims he can't remember any of the events that led to his arrest.
R. Allen Stanford was supposedly beaten by another inmate while being locked away in Conroe's Joe Corley Detention Center on September 24th 2009. His attorneys claim that since the event, he has been unable to answer even the most basic questions.
Doctors that are testifying for the defense say that Stanford has suffered a traumatic brain injury and that he experiences delusions and hallucinations.
Now that Stanford's attorneys are claiming he has amnesia, a decision must be made to whether he is competent enough to stand trial.
That decision will be made Thursday.
