PROVO, Utah (AP) - A lawyer for a Utah man charged with murder after his father’s body was found in a freezer says his client does not appear mentally competent for trial despite months of treatment.
The Daily Herald newspaper in Provo reports (https://bit.ly/2kxEFzr) that 27-year-old Omar Carmona appeared in court Thursday.
He’s charged with murder and desecration of a corpse in the June 2016 death during a fight over whether someone could break in and attack him in the shower.
