A report released in Frederick County court Wednesday declares that accused killer Justin Slater has been restored to mental competency.

The report from Central State Hospital is part of a competency evaluation on whether or not Slater is mentally competent to stand trial for the murders of his brother and ex-girlfriend.

Slater will now appear in Frederick County Circuit court Thursday morning for a competency hearing.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
