Fri Jan 22 | 10:30am MST

This article will be updated as soon as there is a public verdict.

A clock with a yellow frame and white face showing the time as 3:00.

Legal document titled 'Case Caption: United States v. Daniel Larson,' dated January 22, 2026, with a section labeled 'Witness Name and Description/Title' listing 'Robert Proctor' and '1.25 hrs'.

AFTERNOON UPDATE: Hearing is to be continued on Feb 3 2025. Sources tell us only one person was able to testify, and another 7-8 people still need to. This is going to take a while.

A day later and still no verdict … but some new details have come to light. Bob, Tiffany Montano (Daniel’s old therapist), and Ian Thomson (old caretaker company CEO) will testify in court.

A certificate of competency was listed and people on Reddit think that means that Daniel was deemed competent. That certificate is old, and even on that certificate he was deemed incompetent! There is no verdict at the time of writing this.

Dr. Katlyn Hanson of Springfield, MO is the lead person in charge of evaluating and monitoring Daniel. She is the one writing the evaluation/report.

Competency

A Twitter post by user flexburger showing a court date scheduled for January 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM for a case involving the USA and Daniel Larson, titled Evidentiary Hearing. The caption states, "We’ll find out Thursday at 11am if Daniel is deemed competent."

This article is a few days old.

This Thursday marks one of the biggest developments in Daniel’s nearly two-year-long federal prison journey - the chance to be deemed competent. However, that raises the question: how likely is this to happen?

The odds of Daniel being deemed competent are likely less than 20%. The BOP and government have already deemed him incompetent a few months back.

If he isn’t found to be competent this time, he likely never will be. He’ll get another 4 month treatment cycle followed by civil commitment. Daniel’s defense is basically doing this as a last ditch effort.

What if he is found competent?

If he is found competent, it would go to trial prep. With this being a large federal case, it would take over a year before a trial would happen.

To sum it up, this whole thing isn’t about whether Daniel is going to be roaming the streets of Denver in a couple months or not - it’s about whether this will take 1-2 years, 5-7, or if Daniel is civilly committed indefinitely. So is this still big news? Absolutely! Just not quite in the way most people are thinking.
