Owosso gunman ruled incompetent to stand trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS


A judge has declared a man accused of fatally shooting two people, including an anti-abortion activist, incompetent to stand trial.

Shiawassee County District Judge Terrance Dignan, citing a written opinion by the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry, said Harlan Drake could attain competence to stand trial if provided treatment.

Prosecutor Randy Colbry tells WNEM-TV that Drake was placed into the custody of the state Department of Mental Health to undergo treatment.

The 33-year-old Drake, of Owosso, is charged in the Sept. 11 deaths of 63-year-old James Pouillon and 61-year-old Mike Fuoss. Pouillon, who was gunned down near Owosso High School, protested abortion for years in the community about 70 miles northwest of Detroit. Authorities say Drake held a grudge against Fuoss, who once employed his mother.

1. ah... so He didn't kill those men because of politics
but because of personal matters.

I loved how the righties tried to claim this man killed those two due to his views on abortion. After all the killing by the right of liberals and democrats, they needed something to pin on our side. Nope... you folks are the political fanatical psychos...
