Wrestler 'incompetent' to stand trial in 1983 Pennsylvania murder - expert


ALLENTOWN, Pa. (Reuters) - A Harvard psychologist testified on Friday that former professional wrestler Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka was incompetent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend in Allentown, but prosecutors attacked his conclusions.

Dr. Frank Dattilio said at Snuka's competency hearing that he had run months of tests on the man, who is charged with third-degree murder in Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas in Allentown. Among them were tests to determine if Snuka was faking his deterioration.
