CINCINNATI — A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a Cincinnati man is competent to stand trial on charges that he plotted to attack the U.S. Capitol in support of the Islamic State group.

“The court finds that a preponderance of the evidence supports that conclusion,” U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith wrote.

She noted in her order that a psychologist for the defense testified in a Monday hearing that Christopher Lee Cornell, 22, is currently able to participate in his defense. The psychologist had filed an evaluation last year concluding Cornell couldn’t properly assist his defense, but has modified his opinion.

Psychologist Scot Bresler of the University of Cincinnati, who has met repeatedly with Cornell, said for the first time Sunday he asked to be called “Chris” instead of Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, which he had adopted as his Muslim name. The long hair and beard Cornell had when arrested in January 2015 have been cut off.

The psychologist testified Cornell has anxiety and personality disorders, and urged he be re-evaluated before trial.

Cornell, held without bond, has pleaded not guilty to four charges, including attempted murder of U.S. officials and employees.
