Sanity hearing postponed for man accused of killing Sgt. Caleb Eisworth

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The sanity hearing for Gad Black, accused of killing Baton Rouge Police Department Sgt. Caleb Eisworth, has been delayed.

Doctors have requested additional time to review Black’s mental health evaluation, which has postponed the hearing. A final ruling on Gad Black’s competency to stand trial is expected later this year.
