At Dear's last hearing a few weeks ago, his defense attorney was asking the judge for more time so they could have a doctor evaluate the suspect to see if he's competent to stand trial. There will likely be an update on those efforts during the status hearing. A claim of Dear's competency will have a big impact on what happens next.

At Dear's last hearing, he made it very clear that he did not want to be represented by his defense attorney, even shouting at one point, "I'm guilty! There's no trial! Do you know who this lawyer is? He's the lawyer for the Batman shooter; they drugged him up and that's what they want to do with me," Dear said, referring to defense attorney Daniel King's representation of the Aurora theater shooter, James Holmes.

11 News met with David Webster, a local attorney, who gave us his insight into the case.
"Based upon what that competency evaluation tells them, it can be a determination as to whether they want to proceed forward with making a plea for insanity or something like that," Webster said.
