A month after a judge ordered accused murderer Claude Shafer Jr. transferred from the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail to a hospital for treatment of mental illness, Shafer remains in jail. Shafer's defense attorneys warned in February that their client's mental condition was deteriorating in the jail, a warning that was bolstered when a mental health expert concluded a few days ago that Shafer is no longer competent to stand trial.
