State has week to counter commitment motion in murder case

Prosecutors have until Sept. 6 to counter a defense motion seeking to commit for treatment a Fargo man charged with murdering his wife. Attorneys for 50-year-old Leo Henry Deniger said Wednesday in Cass County District Court they are not asking the case be suspended, but rather that he be committed to the State Hospital as soon as possible for treatment aimed at making him mentally fit to stand trial.
