GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A judge has scheduled a trial for a Grand Junction man charged with killing his 13-year-old son after three mental evaluations reached different conclusions.
Fifty-two-year-old Allen Grabe will go on trial March 22 on a first-degree murder charge in the 2008 shooting death of Jacob Grabe. A judge set the trial date on Wednesday.
Grabe has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Two evaluations have concluded he was insane at the time of the killing, but for different reasons.
The conclusions of the third evaluation haven’t been made public. Prosecutors said Wednesday the findings were different from the previous evaluations.
Jacob had had been treated for Asperger’s syndrome, a neurological disorder similar to autism.
