Show Notes
Attorneys for DeLawnte Hardy challenge Ohios new law, which extends the time to restore competency for serious crimes like aggravated murder from one year to three. Hardy, accused of killing Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter, was ruled incompetent last fall and sent to a facility for treatment. However, hes had issues including months without medication. The case stems from June 2024 when Hardy allegedly shot his grandmother, stole her gun, and fled on a bike, firing at officers trying to arrest him. Prosecutors argue Hardy brought deep grief to families and the community, while his lawyers argue holding him longer than the original one-year limit violates his rights. A judge recently ordered a report on Hardys restorability within two years, with the next hearing set for April 30th. The legal challenge plays out as Hardys team files a motion against the new law.
