Assault Suspect Dies, No One Tells Attorneys
....
The suspect's public defender and officials from the Mesa County district attorney's office were in court Wednesday for a hearing to determine if Ridenour was fit to stand trial, unaware he was dead.
I guess in that case, the answer was "no".
Previously, we read:
A 91-year-old man accused of threatening to rape a nurse at his nursing home missed a court appearance because his doctor said he couldn't be moved because of a blood clot in his leg.
....
At an Oct. 24 court hearing, Ridenour appeared to be sleeping at the defense table in his wheelchair. The presiding judge said she thought he was "playing games with the court" and ordered him to be transferred to a hospital for the psychiatric evaluation.
Maybe this is just another game on his part? If so, I guess he won.
