\nThe case of a man accused of killing his own mother has been referred to the Attorney General\u2019s Office, according to a Tweet from Governor Andy Beshear.<\/p>\n
The Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Gerina Whethers said their office personally met with the Perkins family to discuss all options that have been considered.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter 5 years of court hearings, pleadings, petitions, and exhausting all avenues that the law will allow, we will honor the wishes of the Perkins Family to send the case to the Attorney General for consideration,\u201d Whethers said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Gavin Perkins was twice found incompetent to stand trial for the murder of his mother, Ruth Perkins, back in 2018.<\/p>\n
Perkins was placed in a state institution, but his family said he could be released due to loopholes in Kentucky Revised Statutes 202A and 202C.<\/p>\n
The news of the case to be referred to the Attorney General\u2019s Office comes after the petition to medically hold Perkins was denied.
