Crisafulli
Defense Seeking Second
Psychological Examination
By Fred Long
Defense attorneys for accused
murderer Santo John Crisafulli have
asked for a court hearing to examine
"his competency to stand trial" and
requests the court grant a second,
=independent," psychological evalu-
ation "to determine his competency
to stand trial," according to court
documents.
In motions before the Circuit
Court, attorney Kelly Kemp, asked
Circuit Judge Robert Irons to grant
Crisafulli a second psychological

examination "by an independent
expert of his choice s to determine his
competency to stand trial. She ar-
gues in the motion that "he is en-
titled to such an examination and
testimony from an expert as a medi-
cal witness on his behalf."
In the motion, filed last week, she
asked for a court order "permitting
them to have him examined and
that "all medical and psychological
expenses" relating to the examina-
tion be paid by the state.
She asked for a hearing concern-
ing his =competency" to be held fol-
lowing the results of the second
examination.
Crisafulli was found competent to
stand trial based on an examination
conducted prior to his three count
murder indictment, Irons said dur-
ing his arraignment on Nov. 19.
Crisafulli, a veteran of Vietnam,
is charged with the Aug. 12th. mur-
der of his wife, Ida Mae Crisafulli,
.i2; her daughter, Regina Faye Jor-
dan, 17; and niece, TeresaAnn Ward,
23. All three were shot between the
eyes with a .22 Jennings pistol pur-
chased six days earlier at Den's Sport
Shop, according to Sheriff John
Plumley.
The marriage, his third, was only
79-days old at the time of the mur-
der.

of the New River in Summers
County, to begin the effort to desig-
nate the river.
