          Judge Rules Planned Parenthood Shooter Incompetent for Trial

   by VOA News

   A judge in the western U.S. state of Colorado has ruled a man charged
   with killing three people and wounding nine others in a shooting spree
   at a Planned Parenthood clinic last year is mentally incompetent to
   stand trial.

   Robert Lewis Dear has admitted guilt in the shootings, referring to
   himself in court as a "warrior for babies."

   Judge Gilbert Martinez said Wednesday that Dear will be sent to a
   mental health facility with his trial put on hold until he is able to
   understand the proceedings and contribute to his defense.

   The ruling followed evaluations by two psychologists who said Dear is
   delusional and has issues with trusting people.

   Dear has accused his lawyers of drugging him and pursuing a mental
   health defense that would diminish his anti-abortion message.
