The man charged with stomping 21-year-old Ryan Treadway to death nearly a year ago behind a Huron mental health facility has been found competent enough to stand trial. Two mental health experts, Dr’s Frank Dame and David Bean testified that Edwin Thompson has shown significant improvement in his mental health condition since his initial psychiatric evaluation earlier this year and is fit to stand trial. Bean testified that Thompson has shown a slow but dramatic improvement in his schizophrenic paranoia. Thompsons’s paranoia is under control with medications, however he still shows some signs of schizophrenia. Both experts recommend Thompson remain at the Human Services Center in Yankton, because of so-called “compliance issues” with Thompson taking his medications at proper intervals. Both doctors also said a jail environment is not conducive to maintaining the gains Thompson has made in controlling his condition. Thompson must stay on his medications for a significant length of time. Dr. Frank Dame testified Thompson showed he was thinking clearly in a rational way, the contents of his thoughts were rational and the way Thompson processed information was reasonable. A motions hearing date of December 7th was set where a trial date will be announced
