The woman charged with open murder in the fatal shooting of a man outside a Midland Burger King in July has been found competent to stand trial. Rachel Marie Moore, 39, Sanford, appeared in the Midland County District Court for a hearing this afternoon. Her defense attorney, Dan Duke of Midland, and Midland County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Erik S.H. Wallen agreed to the admission of reports dated Nov. 1 that contain the results of evaluations to determine competency and criminal responsibility. “She’s currently competent to stand trial,” said Judge Stephen P. Carras, after stating he has read both reports. The next step in the case will be a preliminary hearing. The preliminary hearing is for a judge to decide if there is probable cause to believe a crime was committed and that it was committed by the defendant. That hearing has not yet been scheduled.
