The Brevard County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller welcomes the recent finding that former Clerk Mitch Needelman has been deemed competent to stand trial on the numerous charges filed against him.
This office remains fully committed to supporting all efforts to ensure accountability and stands ready to provide any and all assistance necessary throughout the judicial process.
