Former professional wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka is on trial for the death of his girlfriend in 1983. During a hearing on his mental competency, Snuka was confused on the most basic of questions, not knowing the name of the President, what year it was or even who his lawyer was.

Under questioning, Snuka, who is 73, said he was in his 80s, appeared confused, and even called the judge, "dear," and "hon."
The purpose of the questioning is to determine whether Snuka will be charged with involuntary manslaughter or murder, in the death of Nancy Argentino.
The defense contends Snuka is unfit to stand trial, due to the damage done to his brain during his wrestling career. The prosecuting team, with a psychological expert of their own, contends Snuka's brain shows signs of normal function and suggested he's faking his symptoms.
In 1983, Snuka told investigators he had been taping at the Allentown Fairgrounds for the WWF when he came to his hotel and found his girlfriend unresponsive.
The district attorney declined to press charges but prosecutors reopened the investigation after a 2013 report in The Morning Call newspaper raised questions about the investigation.
