COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A trial has been rescheduled to January for a woman accused of fatally stabbing a Council Bluffs man on July 4th, last year. The Daily Nonpareil reports that the trial of Jodie Sherman had been set for Tuesday but was rescheduled to begin Jan. 12. Sherman is accused of stabbing 52-year-old Douglas Richt in the throat during an argument after he picked her up in a car. She was arrested shortly after fleeing on foot.

Sherman’s mental competency to stand trial has been reviewed by psychiatric experts. Pottawattamie County Attorney Matthew Wilber told the Nonpareil that Sherman “is definitely competent to stand trial; the question for the jury is whether or not she was insane at the time of the stabbing.”
