Murder
Defendant To
Undergo Tests
A Supply man charged with the
June 18 nturder of his brother-in-law
will undergo testing at Dorothea Dix
Hospital in Raleigh before facing
trial.
Judge B. Craig Ellis agreed to the
additional testing Monday in
Brunswick Count)' Superior Court at
the request of District Attorney
Michael Kasley, saying the question
of capacity can be raised at any time.
Gary Dean Heaves. 28, of Route 2,
Supply, is charged with first degree
murder in the shooting death of Mark
A. Tolliver, 33, also of Route 2, Supply
He was previously examined by a
forensic pyschologlst on the staff of
Southeastern Mental Health Center,
according to his attorney, Roy Trest
of Shallotte, who said there was no
question about the defendant's
capacity to stand trial.
But Easley said the preliminary
exam shouldn't have l>een done
without the state having had an opportunity
to bo heard.
"He is raising such severe defenses
of insanity it is necessary to have a
psychological exam before the state
can proceed," he said.
Reaves, out of Jail on bond since
the date of the Incident, will travel on
his own recognizance to Raleigh
when an appointment is made, to
return as soon as the interview or
testing is completed.
Kaxley said he would not be able to
notify the defense of whether he intends
to seek the death penalty until
after examining the results of the
tests, an SKI report and other
evidence.
"If there is an nKftrnvntinit factor,
It is my understanding I have an
obligation to proceed with seekiiiK
the death penalty," he said.
