StumblePsychiatric evaluation ordered for accused cop killer
Wednesday, June 2, 1999 | 2:18 a.m.
Washoe District Judge Connie Steinheimer ordered the evaluation on Tuesday for Siaosi Vanisi after Vanisi's lawyer raised questions about his ability to assist in his defense.
Vanisi, 28, is charged with first-degree murder for the January 1998 killing of UNR Police Sgt. George Sullivan, a 19-year department veteran.
A jury trial this summer ended in a mistrial when a single-word error was found in a transcribed report of a witness statement.
A new trial is scheduled for September.
