The mental state of Memon is expected to be a key piece of the defense's case as Memon, 17, faces a murder charge in the killing of his Discovery Middle School classmate Todd Brown on Feb. 5, 2010. Both Memon and Brown were 14 at the time of the shooting.
The mental health evaluation was due last week but Madison County Circuit Judge Karen Hall granted an extension until Monday following a defense request.
Memon's Birmingham-based attorney James Parkman filed a second extension request today. asking that the court allow the report to be submitted Wednesday.
In making today's request Parkman said Dr. Paul O'Leary was in a car accident Sunday. There was no mention in the court filing if O'Leary,? a Birmingham-based psychiatrist, was injured.
Court records did not indicate if Hall had granted the motion.
Memon's trial is set for June 17.
His attorneys have indicated he will be pursuing an insanity defense, that at the time of the shooting his mental condition did not allow him to appreciate the nature and wrongfulness of his actions.
