Christian County Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Donovan Dobbs said the hearing for Bobby Gene Jones was rescheduled because the court is waiting on the official report as to whether or not the twenty four year-old man is competent to stand trial.
Dobbs says that, "we got verbal indication from Jones' public defender, Peter Bender, that he has been found incompetent to stand trial."
Detective Brad Cole writes in the statement that Jones doesn't recall providing Liles with his morphine and/or helping administer the drug to her because he had shot up himself that night.
Dobbs said Jones remains is still a patient at Fulton State Hospital. If he is cleared to stand trial, his preliminary hearing will be held on July 14th in Christian County.
If Jones is convicted of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, he could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
