Ross Wardlaw’s Trial on Hold | Boise News

Ross Wardlaw, accused of fatally stabbing Jordan Harbst on the Boise Greenbelt, is temporarily off the hook — a judge ruled he’s not mentally competent to stand trial, halting proceedings while he receives treatment. Though charges remain active and evidence points to his guilt, including a knife and blood at the scene, the trial is on pause until October 21st, when his progress will be reviewed. Wardlaw reportedly confessed to the attack, claiming paranoia about scooter riders, and had briefly been deemed fit enough for release earlier this year — only to be returned to custody. The case can’t resume until he’s proven capable of understanding court proceedings and assisting his defense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
