PnB Rock’s Alleged Shooter Still Lacks ‘Competency’ to Stand Trial, Court Rules

The alleged teen shooter charged with PnB Rock's murder still lacks "competency" to stand trial, a juvenile court commissioner said Friday

In opening statements earlier this week, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Timothy Ricardson told jurors that the evidence will show Trone drove his son to the Roscoe’s restaurant that day and sent him inside to commit robbery.
