The homicide trial against a Hunlock Creek man accused of fatally stabbing his sister is indefinitely on hold after his attorney alleged in court Wednesday that the defendant is incompetent to proceed. Eric Getz, 39, is charged with a single count of criminal homicide alleging he stabbed his sister, Rebecca, with a butcher knife during a fight at their home in February after she called him a "retard" and smacked him in the head with an ice scraper.
