A man found to have more than 100 live dogs and 150 dead ones in his Detroit-area home is due back in court.
Dearborn District Judge William Hultgren on Friday was expected to review the results of a psychiatric exam to determine whether 56-year-old Kenneth Lang Jr. is competent to stand trial on animal cruelty charges.
Authorities discovered in July that Lang was hoarding Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. They say some of the dead dogs found in freezers in the Dearborn home may have been killed with an injection to the heart or were partially eaten by other dogs.
Lang's attorney has said his client needs treatment for an obsessive-compulsive disorder and shouldn't be punished.
Lang is charged with two counts of cruelty to 10 or more animals.
