The man accused of stabbing three people in Davis in April began a mental competency trial on Monday.
The 21-year-old former U.C. Davis student is accused of stabbing two men to death and severely injuring a woman in less than a week.
The murder case against the man is on hold until a jury determines he’s mentally capable of understanding what’s happening in the courtroom.
In May, the man’s public defender said he believes his client is not mentally competent. In June, a court-appointed doctor found that the man is indeed not mentally fit for trial.
A jury will make the final decision.
