All charges have been dropped against Gary Siders Sr., the grandfather of 16 children removed from an Ohio home over the summer, after a judge ruled he is not mentally able to stand trial. Siders, 73, had been charged with 16 counts of child endangerment.

My interview with the 10TV morning show, discussing the Court's recent Judgment Entry, finding Mr. Siders, Sr. not competent to stand trial, and not restorable.

With this, all criminal charges against Mr. Siders, Sr. have now been dismissed, and the prosecution against him has concluded.

The Full, unedited Competency Hearing for Mr. Gary Siders, Sr., followed by the full press conference presented by Attorney Dorian Keith Baum and his Senior Associate, Jonathan Getson.

The Competency Evaluation Report prepared by the forensic examiner after meeting with Mr. Siders, Sr. was clear and unequivocal, and after Prosecutor Archer stipulated to the Report and its findings, the Court found that Mr. Siders is Not Competent to Stand Trial, and furthermore that he is Not Restorable. As such, it is anticipated that all charges against Mr. Siders will be dismissed, either outright or after a filing by the State for the Probate Court to consider a civil commitment.

Continuing to echo the same concerns I've had from the beginning about the unnecessary and inappropriate comments by the State Attorney General, which created a media firestorm and made this situation far more challenging than it ever needed to be.

I continue to challenge the public to allow the legal process to play out, and to provide the Siders family with the same presumption of innocence that each and every Defendant is entitled to.

A gag order has been issued in the cases of Christina and Gary Siders Jr., but Baum said he can still speak about his client’s case.

My response to the most recent developments in the Siders case, including the release of my client from incarceration to address his serious medical issues, and my position on the Attorney General's failure to address their inaccurate and hyperbolic exaggerations during their initial press conference.
