## Resource

After nine years of legal limbo, Fredrick Scott’s murder trial finally kicks off this Thursday — a case that has haunted victims’ families and fractured the justice system. Accused of six killings near Indian Creek Trail between 2016 and 2017, Scott’s defense hinges on his schizophrenia and fluctuating mental competency, forcing him between jail and mental health facilities where he can refuse medication. Despite admitting to the shootings early on, he now pleads not guilty — and time may have eroded witness memories. Families, who’ve attended nearly every hearing, brace for what could be one of the most emotionally charged trials in recent memory.
