(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- A Cedar Rapids man initially found incompetent to stand trial for murder is now being declared competent after undergoing psychiatric treatment.
Arthur Flowers is accused of killing Emily Leonard in April of 2022.
According to court records, Flowers showed signs of a mental disorder that may have prevented him from fully understanding the charges, helping his own defense, or understanding the proceedings.
Flowers was sent to the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville in October of 2022.
A trial date has not yet been set.
