Mental Fitness at Issue for Man Charged in Father’s Murder

Nicholas Selig, charged with murdering his father, faces a legal hurdle regarding his mental fitness to stand trial. If convicted, he could face life in prison or the death penalty. Concerns about his competency arose after he resisted officers and interrupted the judge during court appearances. The case began when his father was found shot in the head, leading to a manhunt that ended with Nicholas Selig’s arrest. An arraignment is scheduled for March 3 to address his competency and determine the next steps in the case.
