A federal judge has found a Kansas man competent to stand trial on charges of threatening the life of President Barack Obama.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten on Friday set an April 3rd trial date for Michael Ramsey. The judge conducted a competency hearing for Ramsey the day earlier.
Ramsey is charged in a two-count indictment with making threats in 2009 and 2011 against Barack Obama.
Thursday's hearing was held after Ramsey underwent a psychological examination and evaluation at a federal medical center. Officials determined he had the ability to understand the proceedings against him and assist in his own defense.
