Mental competency hearing for Utah death row inmate Menzies to resume in December

A hearing weighing whether Utah death row inmate Ralph Menzies is competent to be executed will resume in December. Multiple days had been set aside on the court calendar this week to answer the question, but proceedings ended around noon Friday with still more testimony and arguments expected and the next court date was set for Dec. 9. Menzies was sentenced to death in 1988 in the kidnapping and killing of Maurine Hunsaker, who was discovered tied to a tree with her throat slit in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
