A Mississippi man who has been in jail for 11 years without a trial for the alleged murder of his father soon will be released. He was indicted with 11 different counts including murder in 2006, but a later ruling declared him incompetent to stand trial after he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Scott says Harris spent much of the past 11 years in the Clay County Jail in-between medical evaluations. “You have a constitutional right to speedy trial, there shouldn’t be any cruel or unusual punishment,” Moore said. It’s very cruel and unusual to lock somebody up and throw away the key for 11 years without a trial.
