James L. Jordan, of West Yarmouth, had been accused in the fatal stabbing of Ronald Sanchez Jr., 43, of Oklahoma City. Jordan also wounded a female hiker in Virginia in May 2019. After a court session Thursday, Jordan, 32, will be committed indefinitely to a psychiatric facility within the Bureau of Prisons. Jordan waived his right to trial by jury and an additional evaluation. Judge James Jones accepted the plea at the federal courthouse in Abingdon, Va. Jordan has a history of mental illness. After his arrest in 2019, he had been found incompetent to stand trial. A judge later reversed that ruling. Jordan offered a brief, prepared apology in court. His attorney added that his client was âdeeply remorseful for the profound sorrow he has caused. He regrets that his lifelong battle with mental illness ultimately resulted in this trauma and loss for innocent hikers and their families.â
