Ross Wardlaw Sent to Prison for Treatment | Boise News

Ross Wardlaw, accused of murdering Jordan Harbst on the Boise River Greenbelt, won’t stand trial — a judge ruled he’s dangerously mentally ill and unfit to face charges. Despite prosecutors pushing back, the court committed him to a maximum-security prison for treatment instead of a hospital, citing his inability to rationally assist his defense. With a first-degree murder charge looming — carrying life or death penalties — Wardlaw faces up to 90 days in custody, possibly longer, before his next competency review on October 21st.
