JIMMY SNUKA-COMPETENCY UPDATE

By Dave Scherer on 2016-05-13 18:18:00

The Morning Call in Allentown, PA covered Jimmy Snuka's competency hearing today.

Snuka's defense called forensic psychologist Dr. Frank M Dattilio to testify.  He said that he has examined Snuka many times over the last year and a half and feels Snuka is not competent to stand trial since he is a "shell of a man".  The paper also quoted Dattilio as saying that Snuka has dementia that is "worsening by the month".  Dattilio says that Snuka is, "Unable to understand the legal process" and that having to go on trial would "would cause a severe erosion of his emotional state."

That is exacty what I expected the defense's first witness to say.

The hearing is ongoing.
