Death Row Inmate Marco Allen Chapman Found Competent By Judge POSTED: 3:22 pm EST November 8, 2008 UPDATED: 3:35 pm EST November 8, 2008 http://www.wlky.com/news/17938822/detail.html FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A judge said a Kentucky Death Row inmate is competent to fire his public defenders and seek his own execution. Special Judge Roger Crittenden presided over a hearing Friday in the case of 36-year-old Marco Allen Chapman, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Nov. 21. Crittenden has scheduled another hearing next week to hear from a doctor who examined Chapman, but said he will issue an order declaring Chapman competent. Public defender Heather McGregor said once such an order is issued, defense attorneys will withdraw requests to stop the scheduled execution. Chapman pleaded guilty in 2004 to killing two children and attacking their mother and sister in the northern Kentucky town of Warsaw. Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
