A Lehigh County, Pa. judge has dismissed charges against Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka who was accused of the bizarre murder of his girlfriend Nancy Argentino in 1983.  The Judge ruled that Snuka is not competent to stand trial, saying “it would be unjust to resume the prosecution.” Experts clashed on Snuka’s competence, with doctors saying that Snuka is in hospice care and only 6 months to live.  Psychiatrists for the prosecution said that Snuka was faking dementia for the judge and the cameras. Snuka was arrested in 2015 after an investigation was called into Argentino’s death, and the Lehigh County district attorney’s office to reopen the case. Argentino died in 1983 after Snuka made an appearance in Allentown.  Snuka said he returned to his hotel room to find Argentino suffering from more than three dozen wound.  An autopsy determined, the wounds were caused by blunt trauma from a stationary object. Documents were uncovered in 2013 that indicated Argentino’s death should have been investigated as a homicide.  Snuka pleaded not guilty to the charges of third-degree and involuntary manslaughter, and his attorney argued due to years of concussions and head trauma in the wrestling ring have damaged him and left him unfit for trial. During the competency hearing, Snuka, 73, said he was in his 80s, he did not know the correct year, could not identify presidential candidates, or remember his mother’s name.  His wife said, he believed at the time of the arrest, he thought he was headed to an appearance for wrestling fans.
