Judge Jeffrey Reed has ruled that Timothy Youngblood was found guilty of murder and felonious assault. In July of 2018, Youngblood was arrested for killing his father, Van Youngblood. His lawyer was trying to get a not guilty by reason of insanity plea. During the trial, two mental health experts testified about youngblood's mental state on the day of the murder. One said he was aware that he did something wrong, the other expert said he had symptoms of being psychotic and didn't realize what he did was wrong.

In Allen County Common Pleas Court, 33-year-old Youngblood decided to waive his right to a trial by jury. The verdict will be left to the judge during his trial next month. Earlier this year, Youngblood pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. In July 2018, police say Youngblood was at his parents home and is accused of stabbing his father, Van Youngblood, with a "sword-like" object. Youngblood had been ruled unfit to stand trial.
