Thurber is accused of killing college student Jodi Sanderholm in 2007 near Ark City, and he was supposed to go on trial next month. First, though, he’s got to have a competency hearing next week. If he “fails,” it’s off to Larned until he’s considered healthy enough for trial.

Capital murder suspect Justin Thurber will be back in a Winfield courtroom Thursday afternoon. The appearance was scheduled last month.
Attorneys for the state and defense will meet with Judge Jim Pringle to discuss the admissibility of post and anti-mortem photos. It will be up to Pringle to determine what photos can be used when Thurber’s trial begins in October.
The judge will also consider the admissibility of evidence seized from a computer and recorded audio evidence.
