Prosecutors: Hutaree member incompetent to stand trial
Like most if not all terrorists, this one is mentally defective. You can argue the type of defect all day long (are the leaders narcissist psychopaths, are the followers delusional paranoids, etc.,) but in the end those who turn to militias and terror to further their bizarre aims are mentally deficient.
Federal prosecutors do not believe an accused member of the Hutaree militia is competent to stand trial.
Jacob Ward, one of nine people accused of plotting to kill police officers and spark an uprising against the U.S. government, is suffering from a delusional disorder, according to a document filed today in U.S. District Court in Detroit. The disorder is interfering with his ability to understand the charges against him and help his legal team, according to the government’s motion to hold a hearing and determine whether Ward is competent to stand trial.
