FAYETTEVILLE More than three decades after he smashed a young girl’s head with a large rock, prosecutors, defense attorneys and doctors still disagree about whether Chris Segerstrom is mentally fit to proceed in a courtroom.
Segerstrom was 15 on July 26, 1986, when he took 4-year-old Barbara Thompson into a wooded area behind the Lewis Plaza Apartments several blocks west of the University of Arkansas. He sexually assaulted her before bashing her head with a 40-pound rock and suffocating her.
