Mental Evaluation Ordered In W. Va. Murder Case
The first-degree murder case for Mary Strojia was to begin Friday with a pretrial hearing, but lawyers asked the judge to grant a mental evaluation and said they plan to call an expert witness. South Charleston Police say 54 year old Robert D. Richardson was struck by a van in the 5600 block of Habitat Street in May and later died at Thomas Memorial Hospital. They say the van, which fled the scene, was driven by Mary Strojia. Her trial was to begin next week, but the judge postponed it until January 11th.
