A mental examination for first-degree murder suspect Amber Lea Runau to see if she is competent to stand trial and if she can be held criminally responsible in the death of her 72-year-old neighbor has been completed, it was announced Thursday in Baxter County Circuit Court.
In a November hearing, Circuit Court Judge John Putman ordered the 21-year-old Runau undergo evaluations to determine if she can help in her defense and if she can be held criminally liable for her alleged conduct.
Court officials now must await the results of the examination before the case can proceed. Should the results come back and indicate Runau is competent to stand trial in the killing of Sharon Adler, that may not be the end of the issue.
