Expert ruling that Colorado supermarket shooting suspect is competent for trial set to be debated

A hearing begins Wednesday to determine if the man accused of killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 is mentally competent to stand trial. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 24, was found mentally competent by experts at the state mental hospital in August, but his defense attorney Kathryn Herold asked for the determination to be debated in court. Judge Ingrid Bakke was required to schedule the two-day hearing that will include testimony, but denied Herold's requested for another evaluation from the mental hospital.
