News On Jimmy Snuka’s Murder Trial

Prosecutors are asking for Jimmy Snuka to be committed to a 60-day mental health and competency treatment, according to the Morning Call.

 


 

Snuka is being charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for the 1983 murder case involving the death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino. After being in court on May 13th, 18th, and 20th and the prosecutors bringing in two doctors, forensic psychologist doctor Frank M. Dattilio as well as Dr. John O’Brien, Judge Kelly Banach ruled that Snuka is not competent to stand trial.

The prosecution wants to find out “whether the defendant can be competent to stand trial.” District Attorney Charles Gallagher petitioned the court to have Snuka admitted to treatment for a true evaluation of his mental competency. As of this writing, a hearing to review the prosecution’s latest filing has not yet been scheduled.
