As part of his psychological evaluation, reports were done on both Manis’ competency for trial and his sanity. Powers admitted the competency report as evidence today, but the sanity report will not be included.
Evans also filed a motion for gag order in the case.
Manis was scheduled for a pre-trial hearing at 1:30 p.m. today, but his case was moved up to 10:30 a.m. due to a lockdown at the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. Another pre-trial hearing has been set for 1 p.m. Jan. 25.
