United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The fa
ther of slain soul singer Marvin
Gaye is suffering from a poten
tially fatal brain tumor, but is
mentally competent to stand
trial on charges he shot his son
to death, a psychiatrist testified
Wednesday.
Physicians who diagnosed
Marvin Gay Sr., 71, said he has
a brain tumor the “si/e of a wal
nut.” A defense attorney said
that may have caused the be
havior leading to the April 1
shooting during a argument.
“Mr. Gay is competent to
stand trial,” Dr. Ronald Mark-
man, a court appointed psychia
trist, said in a written report.
“He is fully oriented, alert,
aware of the nature of the pro
ceedings and is open to sugges
tion and direction,” the doctor
said.
But after defense attorney
Arnold Gold said further diag
nosis of the tumor was needed,
Superior Gourt Judge Michael
Pirosh delayed ruling on Gay’s
competency until May 16. .
Gold said the exact size and
nature — whether benign or
cancerous — of the tumor is un
known. But the attorney said it
is “absolutely necessary” that
the tumor be removed or Gay
could be blind within months,
and perhaps even dead.
He said outside court it w?
“certainly possible” the tuny r
affected Gay’s behavior the ety
of the shooting, and indicted
he may use that as a defnse
strategy.
In his report, Markmaf said,
“When I first spoke to M- Gay,
he was confused and somewhat
disoriented ... he was <naware
as to the basis for his d ten fion,
but did state that he^ad shot
his son.
“During the secor* interview
Mr. Gay was less peplexed and
quite responsive my ques
tions. He underst^d he was in
custody for the ,tl a th °f his son
but was unclear as to the spe
cific charges ... He was aleL co
operative and demonstraed ad
equate intellectual functim.”
Marvin Gaye — he aided an
“e” to his professionalname —
was a Grammy Awarf-winning
singer whose hits included
“Heard It Throughthe Grape
vine” and “What’s Going On.”
He was shot to dean in the fam
ily home after fn argument
with his father.
