Judge Declares Baylor's Carlton Dotson Incompetent

[MrMustang1965]

WACO, Texas (AP) -- A judge in Waco today ruled that a former Baylor basketball player charged with killing a teammate is -NOT- competent to stand trial.

Judge George Allen ordered 22-year-old Carlton Dotson to be sent to a state mental hospital for up to 120 days.

If Dotson is not competent at that time, he can be treated for another two months.

Dotson is charged with murder in the 2003 shooting death of Patrick Dennehy, whose body was found in a Waco-area field.

Authorities have refused to discuss a motive for the slaying.

A defense psychologist, state psychiatrist and court-appointed independent psychiatrist all found that Dotson was incompetent for trial.

Some people close to Dotson said he reported hearing voices and seeing visions as early as 2002.

That whole situation has been very sad from start to finish.

Glad to have you back, MM65.

No...if you will go back and read my original post you will see that I said 'football forum'. However, I am limiting myself on the other forums. This is the first post since my two-in-a-row pledge and I am now going back to hibernation. Good night.
