 A competency hearing was held today for the man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl after a house fire in June of 2016. Jacob Kinn appeared in court shackled and handcuffed. The defense presented two witnesses, including Kinn's mother. A video showed Kinn's limited behavior where he spoke in two to three-word phrases. The state called nearly 10 witnesses, including a doctor who treated Kinn. Dr. Adnan Ahmed says Kinn has the capacity to understand the charges and communicate with his counsel. On May 9th, Judge Sherry Schlechter will make a decision regarding Kinn's competency to stand trial.
