Dad faces charges

Posted

A man charged with killing his five year old daughter by throwing her off a bridge is not fit to stand trial.

A judge ruled John Jonchuck incompetent on Monday.

Police saw his car speeding toward a bridge in Florida last January.

He waited for an officer to approach then threw his daughter Phoebe over the side of that bridge.

Jonchuck will head back to a mental hospital to continue treatment.

Another competency hearing is scheduled for October.
