NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) - A judge has ruled a southern Indiana man is competent to stand trial on charges he killed three women.
The Floyd County judge made the ruling after a psychiatrist and psychologist testified Friday that 55-year-old William Clyde Gibson of New Albany was mentally fit to assist in his defense.
The News and Tribune and The Courier-Journal report the decision clears a legal hurdle ahead of Gibson's scheduled February trial in one of the deaths.
The doctors testified that Gibson has attempted suicide since he was arrested in April.
Gibson is charged with killing 75-year-old family friend Christine Whitis in April and 35-year-old Stephanie Kirk of Charlestown, whose remains were found buried in his backyard days later. He's also charged in the death of 44-year-old Karen Hodella in 2002.
