Zizian Leader's Mental Competency Questioned

Jack LaSota, leader of the Zizians group linked to six deaths, may be mentally incompetent to stand trial. Her lawyer requested a competency evaluation after she confused fugitive status with being transgender and claimed judges run crime rings. LaSota, along with Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank, faces state charges of trespassing, illegal guns, and drugs, but no murder charges. Their case is tied to homicide probes in California, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. LaSotas team argues police searched the trucks without a warrant and ignored the landowners okay. She denies any cult and will remain in federal custody until the competency report comes back.
