TYLER — The Smith County District Attorney’s office will not block a complete mental evaluation of the teenager accused of fatally stabbing his John Tyler teacher last September. That’s according to a brief filed by his attorney. The student was 16 at the time of the incident. According to KETK, Texas law requires such an examination be made before trying someone as young as Byron Truvia as an adult.
