JUST IN: The judge overseeing the case of Letecia Stauch, the Colorado Springs woman accused of murdering her stepson in January 2020, has set a trial date of March 2023.
COLORADO SPRINGS — The judge overseeing the case of Letecia Stauch has set a trial date of March 2023. The trial date was set after the court heard the defense has withdrawn a request for a medical exam at the state mental hospital in Pueblo, and will instead have a defense-retained expert conduct testing at the El Paso County Jail by December.
Letecia Stauch is accused of killing her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon Stauch, in 2020. She was in the courtroom today for the hearing and informed the judge she would not be answering any questions, according to her defense counsel. "Competency just means - Do you know what's going on? Do you know that the person sitting up there with the black robe on is a judge? Insanity... is the tough one. That means... if you're accused of committing a crime, at the time when you were actually doing the criminal action... you have no idea what you're doing, you have no idea that what you're doing is wrong," explained Shawn Conti, a Criminal Defense Attorney in Pueblo.
Stauch claims she's been mistreated while in jail by claiming she was not properly given kosher food and that the jail neglected to give her medical care.
