Furrell case delayed again as teen ruled unfit for trial
Du Quoin teenager Furrell remains unfit to stand trial delaying proceedings over a stabbing that police say was cold blooded. Perry County State's Attorney David Stanton noted the case hinges on psychiatric evaluation and education before any move to adult court, with new charges of residential burglary added and potential transfer to McFarland Mental Health Center for treatment. The other teen involved faces similar charges and will have status hearings about 90 days after remand for treatment.
