Nicholas Humphrey, who is charged with holding hostages at gunpoint inside a Jacksonville credit union in December 2016, was found not fit for trial four times in mental evaluations ordered by the court. But on May 30, a psychologist submitted a report that Humphrey is now competent to assist in his own defense, and a judge entered an order to have him stand trial. The hostages -- seven of whom were employees at the credit union -- were freed when a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office SWAT team made entry. I took out about three rows of chairs -- boom boom boom.
