South Point Casino Horse-Stabbing Suspect Ruled Competent to Stand Trial

A teenage girl accused of stabbing three horses at a barrel racing competition at South Point Casino in Las Vegas has been ruled competent to stand trial following months of mental health evaluations. Clark County Family Court Judge Linda Marquis ruled Wednesday that the case could proceed, clearing the way for a December hearing to determine whether the defendant should be prosecuted as an adult. “I’m ordering that these proceedings move forward,” Marquis said, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal .
