MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A South Dakota man who claims the killing
of a 75-year-old nurse was part of a plot to kill President Barack
Obama will remain in Madison for two weeks while he gets a mental
examination.
The Dane County Court Commissioner has ordered a competency
examination for 41-year-old James McVay.
The exam will determine if McVay is competent to waive an
extradition hearing and allow South Dakota officials to retrieve
him.
McVay is charged in South Dakota with killing Maybelle Schein
(SHINE) in her home in Sioux Falls on Saturday. He was found driving
her car near Madison on Saturday afternoon.
Prosecutors say McVay claims Schein's death was part of his plan
to travel to Washington, D.C., to assassinate the President.
