## Resource

A chilling case takes a dark turn as accused killer Christopher Leahy, charged with brutally stabbing 19-year-old Juniper Blessing over 40 times, is found mentally incompetent to stand trial. Ordered to Western State Hospital for up to 90 days, Leahy’s treatment aims to restore his competency before justice can proceed — a process that could take up to a year. LGBTQIA+ advocates, deeply moved by Blessing’s tragic death, are rallying to support her family and honor her legacy. Leahy’s next court date is September, with the legal system poised to balance fairness with the profound grief this case has left in its wake.
