elwoodsix1

There will be a competency hearing for Elwood Six.

Six pleaded not guilty to killing Rodney Stepp in 2017.

A grand jury handed down a superseding indictment against him earlier this year.

They upgraded his orginal charges from second-degree manslaughter to first degree.

Investigators working the case say Six did kill Stepp.

The competency hearing is scheduled for November 26. A judge will decide whether he is able to stand trial.

Currently, there is not a trial date. That hearing will be held in Johnson County.
