Incompetence Ruling in Killing of Abortion Protester

The man charged with killing an abortion protester in early September in Owosso, Mich., and another man the same day has been deemed incompetent to stand trial, prosecutors said. On Wednesday, the judge in the case ordered Harlan J. Drake, 33, committed to the custody of the Michigan Department of Mental Health to begin psychiatric treatment. If he is rendered competent, a preliminary examination would be set, the Shiawasee County prosecutor’s office said. It is unclear how long the treatment will last. NY Times
