Short appeared back in court Friday morning after he asked to fire his attorneys who wanted to proceed by filing a motion to suppress the hearing. Short's attorneys appeared by his side in court Friday.
They told the judge they have been counseling Short and have determined that he cannot make up his own mind about what he wants to do.
Short faces the death penalty for killing his estranged wife, Rhonda Short, and her church friend, Donnie Sweeney, who had been helping her move into a new home in Huber Heights in July.
Prosecutors said Short stalked Rhonda and shot her and Sweeney in front of his own children.
Short, gripping his Bible, said Friday morning that he still wants to enter a plea. The judge told Short he would have to be evaluated by a doctor again, which is required by law.
In addition to wanting to enter a plea, Short is also asking to have no mitigation on his behalf, which mean he does not anyone to speak on his behalf on why he should not die.
