Rapid City Murder Case: Selig’s Team Consults Experts for Competency Test

The Rapid City man accused of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his father is seeking a competency evaluation at his next court appearance. 30 year-old Nicholas Selig failed to appear at his first two hearings, exhibiting uncooperative behavior, physically resisting authorities, and repeatedly interrupting the judge during the reading of charges. He and his legal team are consulting experts, including Dr. Scovel, to assess his mental and cognitive capacity to stand trial. His next status hearing is set for November 18^th. If convicted, Selig could face the death penalty or life in prison.
