USA - Indiana. Judge Jane Woodward Miller sets aside Michael Dean Overstreet's death penalty

Judge Jane Woodward Miller sets aside Michael Dean Overstreet's death penalty because he is not currently competent to be executed. Sources close to the case say Woodward Miller issued a stay that spares Overstreet from the death sentence. The judge, sources said, agreed with Overstreet's lawyers, who in court documents argued he was delusional and has no "rational understanding" of why the state of Indiana plans to execute him. Overstreet, 48, White, was sentenced to death on July 31, 2000 in the September 27, 1997 rape and murder of Kelly Eckart, 18. DNA evidence linked Overstreet to the killing.
