Michael Lee Crane, the man accused in three Valley murders, including the killing of a Paradise Valley couple, must undergo a mental-competency exam before his next court appearance.
He stood before Rees and again spelled out his name in upper- and lower-case letters, a tactic commonly used by followers of a right-wing extremist movement called the sovereign-citizen movement.
Crane faces first-degree murder charges in the Jan. 30 slayings of Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro, who were found shot, bound and burned in their Paradise Valley home.
Crane also is charged with first-degree murder of cigar salesman Bruce Gaudet, whose body was discovered Jan. 26 in his Phoenix condo, which had been set on fire.
