Fredrick Scott Trial Finally Set to Begin | Kansas City News

After nearly nine years and countless delays, Fredrick Scott’s trial for allegedly murdering six people in Kansas City finally kicks off — jury selection begins August 31, trial starts September 3. Diagnosed with schizophrenia and at times refusing medication, Scott’s mental competency has repeatedly stalled proceedings, but he was deemed competent last July. His defense won’t use his mental health as a defense, shifting focus to the case’s core. Five victims were older white men found near Indian Creek Trail between 2016-2017; the sixth was a homeless woman in Grandview. Families endure emotional tolls as they await justice — now, the legal system moves toward resolution after a grueling wait.
