(Denver Gazette) After a day of testimony between dueling psychiatrists, the question of whether or not the gunman accused of killing 10 people in a Boulder King Soopers will stand trial is now in the hands of a Boulder County district judge.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa listened quietly, did not appear to speak with his attorneys and often looked at the ground and fidgeted during Wednesday’s day-long competency hearing.
Alissa listened with little emotion as 20th Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty argued that proper medication, individual therapy sessions and formal testing at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo has restored him to competency.
“Is he competent to stand trial today as we sit here now? Has he been restored to competency? Either way the answer is yes,” Dougherty said.
