A few minutes ago a U.S. District judge in Texas ruled that Mr. Osbon is mentally competent to stand trial.
Although the judge ordered the mental evaluation results sealed, she said the results of that evaluation point to the pilot's ability to "aid in his defense" during trial.
Although not a mental health professional myself, I find this ruling to be ludicrous. Perhaps Mr. Osbon is mentally competent now, and was during the evaluation. He certainly was anything but that during the incident back in March.
