(Jury to decide Mental Capacity)….It was scheduled for September 25th.

The trial is to determine if Ion Laurint is mentally capable of standing trial. He is charged in the murder of El Centro attorney Anne Marie Zimmerman, who was murdered last year in an Adams Avenue Motel. Laurent’s mental capacity was brought up by defense attorneys who claimed their client did not have the mental capacity to assist in his own defense. The results of the September trial will determine how the murder trial proceeds.
