Pennsylvania Man Found Competent for Trial in Murder Case
News summary

A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that Justin Mohn, 32, accused of beheading his father and showcasing the act in a YouTube video, is competent to stand trial. During a five-hour court session, Mohn claimed to be a messianic figure and alleged that the federal government was persecuting him, leading him to dismiss his public defender. Despite the defense expert's testimony that Mohn suffered from a delusional disorder, the judge sided with the prosecution's psychologist, who found him capable of understanding the charges against him. Mohn's actions included shooting his father and posting a 14-minute video detailing the murder while calling for violence against federal workers. He was arrested after trying to mobilize National Guard members to overturn the government, carrying a 9mm handgun and evidence of his crime. If convicted, he faces severe penalties under Pennsylvania law, including the death penalty.
