Albrecht Muth may act kind of crazy, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t fit to stand trial for the killing of his wife, Georgetown socialite Viola Drath, in August 2011. The Post reports that despite his odd actions and belief that he’s truly an Iraqi general whose wife was killed by Iranian agents, Muth has been found competent to stand trial by a team of doctors at St. Elizabeths Hospital:

In their latest report, filed Tuesday, doctors said they based their new diagnosis on interviews with Drath’s family members, who gave them a history of Muth’s background.

Muth had a “history of becoming a variety of personas” as he tried to develop social relationships or alliances with key political individuals, Drath’s relatives said; he would take on a new personality when the previous one had “run its course.”

Doctors then determined that actions they attributed to his psychotic disorder “changed dramatically” depending upon the circumstances in which he found himself, they wrote. Previous psychological exams, the doctors said, did not fully account for Muth’s “personality structure, particularly the grandiosity and deceitfulness that appear to be focal parts of his personality.”

The St. Elizabeths report came two weeks after doctors hired by District prosecutors submitted a similar report. Those findings also concluded that Muth was competent for trial.

And though this seems to clear the way to a trial for Muth, the court will still face another challenge: Muth is again refraining from eating, saying that the Archangel Gabriel told him to abstain from food until October 19. This is Muth’s second such hunger strike; so far, he’s said to have lost 25 pounds.
