Fairfield church deacon in cold case killings may be unfit for trial
Original: Fairfield church deacon, charged in two cold case homicides, may be mentally incompetent for trial
A deacon at a Fairfield church charged in connection with two cold case homicides may be mentally incompetent to stand trial, according to court proceedings reported by Bay Area media. The development raises questions about how the prosecution of the decades-old killings will proceed while his mental fitness is evaluated.
Why now: The unusual combination of a church figure linked to two old murder cases and a possible mental incompetence ruling is drawing attention.
