White’s public defenders had asked for the examination in light of recent evaluations of their client by a doctor and psychologist suggesting the possibility the teen might be schizophrenic. The prosecutor’s office raised no objection to the request at a hearing Friday in Jasper County Circuit Court prior to the judge’s ruling. But the judge turned down a defense request that White be released from jail on a cash bond and placed on house arrest while awaiting trial on charges stemming from an assault-rifle incident at Joplin’s Memorial Middle School in 2006.
