ATHENS COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- The man accused of robbing a bank in southern Ohio said he is not competent to stand trial.

Patrick Slider is accused of planting fake pipe bombs at two post offices in Athens County in July to divert attention while he allegedly robbed a bank in Coolville.

Slider's trial was scheduled to start Tuesday but is now postponed indefinitely. Slider is charged with aggravated robbery and inducing panic.

I wouldn't be competent to stand trial once I realized I was going to have to pay for my crime. Let me guess, the voices told him to rob the bank, no, no, I bet Obama told him to do it. An incompetent person would have just robbed the bank, not went to that much planning.

it sounds like to me this guy is not that stupid, because he had planned this thing before he had the guts to get it done, he is no better than anyone else, when you do the crime,you do the time, what happened to the saying of a fast and speedy trial?
