Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal’s son Redmond finally ruled fit to stand trial for alleged 2018 knife attack

Redmond O’Neal will stand trial over allegations he attacked five people during a 2018 crime spree after a Los Angeles court found sufficient evidence to proceed following his restoration to competency, Wonderwall.com can report.

The son of late Hollywood stars Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges.

Appearing in court on the 17th anniversary of his mother’s death, Redmond, 41, sported devil horn tattoos on his forehead as prosecutors detailed the alleged three-day crime spree.

Surveillance footage introduced during the hearing showed Redmond entering a Venice, Calif., coffee shop and confronting workers behind the counter.

“Stop staring at me,” he screamed before punching an espresso machine during the incident on May 18, 2018.

“He seemed like he was looking at our tip jar,” barista Samantha Cline testified. “He pulled a knife out of his pocket and came toward me with a knife in his hand. I thought to myself, ‘I don’t want to die at this moment.'”

L.A. County Superior Court Commissioner James P. Cooper found sufficient evidence to proceed with trial on 13 felony and misdemeanor charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and possession of heroin and methamphetamine.

Prosecutors have accused him of stabbing actor Seth Folkerson in the head and body and slicing another actor, Kenneth Fox, in the face with a bottle while saying homophobic slurs, as well as a subsequent robbery of a 7-Eleven at knifepoint.

Following his 2018 arrest, a judge determined Redmond was incompetent to stand trial due to diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and antisocial personality disorder.

Redmond was sent to a forensic psychiatric facility, Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino, Calif., which treats individuals referred by the judicial system who are ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial. He has remained there for several years.

He entered a not guilty plea in March.

Following the court’s decision, Redmond’s attorney, Dana Cole, told Us Weekly, “In a preliminary hearing, the standard of proof is reasonable suspicion. It’s not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. So what the judge did … is of no surprise. We knew [Redmond] was going to be held to answer on these various charges and it’s really the attempted murder count we are most focused on.

“Everything else, he’s sort of already done his time, to be quite honest,” his attorney added. “They are claiming it’s first degree. We are claiming if it’s anything, it would be second [degree], not first.

“We still have a long way to go in this case. There is a whole mental health overlay. And that is going to be very important in deciding how ultimately this case gets resolved.”

Farrah’s best friend speaks out

Redmond’s conservator, Mela Murphy — who was Farrah’s best friend — has previously shared optimistic updates about his progress during his treatment.

“Redmond has been drug free and a model patient for five years now at Patton State Hospital,” she told People in a statement. “He has had to overcome so much in his life. We are proud of him and Farrah would be too. He finally got a proper mental health diagnosis and medication.”

Mela said she believes “his serious drug problems in the past were a result of not having mental health support in his earlier life. Today, he is participating in 12-step recovery, helps out patients, reads every day and has found a spiritual life.

“There are many friends and supporters of Redmond who are in contact with him and are so proud of his journey to recovery,” she added.
