Defense attorneys for Sharpe expect Judge Trudy White give a final ruling on Sharpe’s competency on January 30.

Doctors are trying to restore Sharpe at a mental hospital so he can be competent to stand trial.

Sharpe also faces charges in East Feliciana Parish of first-degree murder charge for the death of Brad DeFranceshi, second-degree murder for the death of Tommy Bass, and attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of Buck Hornsby. All of those alleged crimes happened in 2017.
