Jet Blue Captain Found Competent to Stand Trial

Last March, Jet Blue captain Clayton Osbon interfered with a flight en route to Las Vegas.  The plane was diverted to Amarillo, Texas, and Osbon was criminally charged in the Northern District of Texas with interfering with the duties of a flight crew (criminal complaint available here).  On June 15, 2012, Judge Robinson found that Osbon is mentally competent to stand trial, after Osbon and the prosecution both stipulated to competency.  Osbon intends to mount an insanity defense.
