A judge in Ocala has ruled that a 38-year-old man isn't competent to stand trial in the 2011death of a teenager.
James Young Havens III faces up to 30 years in prison for an accessory after the fact to murder charge. Circuit Judge David Eddy ruled Wednesday that Havens will have to undergo treatment.
Four people have received life sentences in the death of 15-year-old Seath Jackson. Twenty-year-old Michael Bargo faces the death penalty in a trial scheduled for February.
Prosecutors say Jackson was lured to a home where he was beaten, tied up and shot. Arrest reports say his body was burned and his remains were put into buckets and tossed into a lime pit.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports Havens has been out on bail since April 2010.
