ORLANDO, Fla. — Medical experts finished testifying Monday in the competency hearing of convicted cop killer Markeith Loyd, but a judge has not determined yet whether to delay his sentencing for the 2017 killing of Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton.
Under Florida law, defendants are found incompetent to proceed when they lack the ability to consult with their attorneys or are unable to understand the proceedings against them.
Loyd, 46, faces a possible death sentence after a 12-person jury unanimously recommended he should be executed for fatally shooting Clayton when she tried to arrest him for killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
