Suspect In Local Postal Officials' Deaths Seeks Mental Competency Evaluation

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

The attorney for the former postal carrier charged with killing of his supervisor and the Dublin postmaster in December is asking for a mental competency evaluation to determine if her client is competent to stand trial. 

DeShaune Stewart allegedly killed  Lance Dempsey and Ginger Ballard, who were involved in his discipline for unspecified on-the-job infractions. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
