Seattle judge rules accused murderer Isaiah K. Haynes competent to stand trial for killing Ruth Dalton and her dog.

A Seattle judge has ruled that Isaiah K. Haynes, accused of murdering 80-year-old Ruth Dalton and her dog Chico, is competent to stand trial. Haynes, with six prior felony convictions, faces a potential life sentence if convicted, as this would be his "third strike" under Washington state law. The judge denied bail, citing his criminal history and the severity of the charges. Dalton's family expressed relief and plans to attend all hearings in her memory.
