A Utah judge ruled that convicted killer Ralph Leroy Menzies, who developed dementia on death row, is competent enough to be executed. Menzies was sentenced to death in 1988 for the 1986 killing of Maurine Hunsaker. Despite his cognitive decline, the judge found Menzies understands his situation and selected the firing squad as his method of execution.
