As the 2-year anniversary approaches, the legal back and forth continues as prosecutors work to bring the Boulder King Soopers case to trial. Denver7 reporter and lawyer jcrawfordtv breaks down how a new order could further complicate the process.
DENVER — As the 2-year-mark approaches and with a remembrance ceremony planned, the man charged with killing 10 people at Boulder’s King Soopers supermarket still remains mentally incompetent to stand trial.
Suspect Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 23, has been deemed mentally incompetent several times and in December 2021 he was sent to the state mental hospital for treatment. Crawford explains, competency involves being able to understand the proceeding and play a role in one's own defense. Prosecutors suspect he may be purposely delaying trial but the court ruled that only the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo can evaluate and treat the suspect.
In the latest back and forth, the judge told prosecutors they can ask for a restoration hearing and in that hearing the court will decide whether or not competency has been restored and if the defendant can proceed to trial.
