ALLENTOWN, Pa.
Josh Bynes Jersey . -- An eastern
Pennsylvania judge says she wont dismiss the homicide charges against former pro
wrestling star Jimmy Superfly Snuka in the death of his girlfriend more than
three decades ago but may consider doing so later.The Lehigh County judge in
June ruled the 73-year-old defendant mentally incompetent to stand trial in his
girlfriends 1983 death. She declined prosecutors request to have him
involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.Prosecutors then asked the judge to
either require Snuka to participate in outpatient treatment to determine whether
he can become mentally competent or dismiss the charges.If you believe that hes
not going to become competent, then whats the point? Chief Deputy District
Attorney Charles Gallagher III asked Judge Kelly Banach in court on Tuesday. We
ask you to dismiss the charges.Banach said she wasnt comfortable with dismissing
the charges at this point but wanted to revisit the case at Snukas next
evaluation hearing in December. She said she was open to reconsidering her
decision if new evidence to drop the charges was presented.The defense has
argued that Snuka suffers from dementia, partly due to the head trauma he
suffered over a long career in the ring. A prosecution expert said Snukas brain
shows normal signs of aging and suggested that he might be feigning symptoms.
Gallagher repeated that contention Tuesday, saying the defendant has been an
actor his whole life.Banach, who questioned Snuka herself earlier, said in June
that she found the wrestler vacant and unable to assist in his defense. I dont
believe hes faking it. I dont think hes smart enough to fake it, Banach said in
June.If Banach grants the prosecutions motion to require outpatient treatment,
its unclear where Snuka would receive it. Defense attorney Robert Kirwan said
his client plans to move to Florida to live with his son.Snuka, a native of Fiji
who lives in New Jersey, was charged last year with third-degree murder and
involuntary manslaughter in the death of 23-year-old Nancy Argentino, whose body
was found in their Whitehall Township hotel room. Prosecutors allege she was
beaten while Snuka has maintained that she died from a fall.
