Brooklyn Justice John Starkey said Berkowitz is oriented in time and place, has a working relationship with counsel, and can proceed. Doctor testimony split on competency, with psychiatrists for both sides. The judge set motions for Nov 2, without an official trial date, and Berkowitz remains in King's County Hospital psychiatric ward for now.
