Richard J. F. Roth<\/p><\/div>\n

Richard Joseph Frank Roth, 65, is charged with first-degree murder for the Nov. 4 death of 64-year-old Jackie Marie Lawyer.<\/p>\n

Attorney Mike Underwood said it’s standard procedure in a case this serious to discover whether or not a defendant is competent to stand trial.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor’s allege Roth retrieved a handgun from his property and confronted Lawyer near the trailer park mailboxes after an argument between the two about him “snitching” on her for dumping wood stove ashes in the woods. Roth called 911 to report the shooting after it happened.<\/p>\n

Roth previously has been brought up for his court appearances in a wheelchair but attorneys didn’t have him come to the courtroom for today’s brief hearing.<\/p>\n

He has pleaded not guilty and remains held on $500,000 bail.
