Oklahoma Death Row inmate set to appear before competency hearing

An Oklahoma inmate on Death Row for killing a state trooper could undergo a competency review in March.

Ricky Malone was sentenced to death for the murder of Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Nik Green in 2003.

In 2017, Malone was ruled incompetent to be executed.

In December, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond requested a competency review for Malone.

A judge agreed to hold a hearing for Malone sometime in March.
