Mental state assessment hearing for an Enid man charged with rape and murder

An Enid man charged with the rape and murder of a 2-year-old girl will appear before a Garfield County judge Friday morning.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health said last month that Michael Geiger was incompetent to stand trial.

Officials said he doesn’t understand his legal situation but that treatment could stabilize his mental state.

The hearing will assess Geiger’s current mental state.

The hearing begins at 3:30 p.m
