13 Jul
Summary
- Suspect LaDavid Shaw pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity for a murder.
- Shaw is accused of strangling Shanae Robinson at a travel center.
- A doctor's evaluation will determine Shaw's sanity and trial competency.
In Preble County Common Pleas Court, LaDavid Shaw's lawyer entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity for his alleged role in a murder. The court has received a motion for a doctor to conduct a competency and sanity evaluation of Shaw. This evaluation is crucial to determine Shaw's mental state at the time of the alleged crimes and his current competency to stand trial.
Shaw faces charges for the killing of 36-year-old Shanae Robinson last month. The incident occurred at a Petro Travel Center in New Paris, close to the Ohio-Indiana border. Authorities allege Shaw admitted to strangling Robinson, then crashing his semi-truck in an attempt to conceal her death. Court documents indicate Shaw also showered at the truck stop to destroy evidence before his arrest.
