The mental health of accused murderer Claude Delmus Shafer Jr. continued to hover over his death penalty case Friday as Circuit Judge Dennis L. Hupp scheduled a hearing to determine what kind of medication Shafer should be receiving at the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail. Hupp scheduled the hearing after prosecution and defense attorneys told him that the jail's medical staff has refused to prescribe a drug that Shafer had been receiving during a recent stay at Central State Hospital, a drug that had restored the defendant's ability to stand trial.
