Louisiana: Ku Klux Klan member’s mental competency hearing is postponed

NorthShoreNOLA reports on Louisiana trial of Shane Foster “charged with second-degree murder in the Nov. 9 shooting death of Klan recruit Cynthia Lynch”
— “In an attempt to make him mentally competent to stand trial for obstruction of justice in the killing of an Oklahoma woman, a state judge is giving an alleged Ku Klux Klan member another 60 days of tutoring in the St. Tammany Parish jail, authorities said.”
— “On April 21, state Judge Reginald ‘Reggie’ Badeaux ordered Shane Foster, 21, of the Bogalusa area to get tutoring from a court-appointed forensic coordinator for 90 days with the hope that it would ‘restore’ Foster’s competency and make him ready for trial.”
— “Assistant District Attorney Julie Knight and Foster’s defense attorney John Lindner agreed today to give that tutoring another 60 days. Badeaux is expected to sign an order to that effect sometime this week, according to Lindner and others close to the case.”
— “Foster is the son of Raymond ‘Chuck’ Foster , the alleged imperial wizard of the Bogalusa Sons of Dixie Knights. Chuck Foster is charged with second-degree murder in the Nov. 9 shooting death of Klan recruit Cynthia Lynch in a remote part of northeastern St. Tammany. Authorities have said the slaying occurred after Lynch told Foster that she wanted to go home.”
