twitterJudge: Ibeabuchi is legally incompetent
Monday, March 26, 2001 | 9:48 a.m.
Patricia Ibeabuchi is positive about three things. She says her son isn't a rapist and he isn't crazy. She also says the state of Nevada is going to destroy him.
Her son, Ikemefula "Ike" Ibeabuchi, a World Boxing Council Intercontinental heavyweight fighter with a 20-0 record, has been imprisoned on sexual assault charges since the summer of 1999.
On Friday District Judge Joseph Bonaventure ruled that Ibeabuchi, 29, is legally incompetent. He also ruled that the only way to get him competent to stand trial is to forcibly medicate him.
Bonaventure said the doctors who have seen Ibeabuchi believe he is either suffering from bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder.
Ibeabuchi is charged with sexually assaulting an outcall dancer at a Strip hotel room in July 1999.
