BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Attorneys will begin arguments Wednesday over whether the man accused of killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 is mentally competent to stand trial.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was found mentally competent by experts in late August. But his defense attorney asked for the determination to be debated in court.
