From October 2018:

Mistrial declared in Dennis murder case

The judge in a Jackson County murder trial declares a mistrial after the suspect had an outburst in court.

Robert Dennis is one of three accused in the August 2016 murder of Robin Stief.

Tiesha Anderson and Lauren Stinde also face charges in Stief's death and for trying to hide her body near Piles Fork Creek in Carbondale by lighting it on fire.

Stinde entered a open plea to first-degree murder in Nov. 2016 and has been in jail awaiting sentencing ever since.

Anderson is scheduled to be in court next on Oct. 9 and has a jury trial scheduled to begin Nov. 13.

From February 2019:

Back in October, Judge William Schwartz ordered a mental fitness exam for Robert Dennis after declaring a mistrial. Dennis went off on a tirade in front of a jury and the judge said there's doubt about if he can handle another trial.

Since then, Judge Schwartz retired and Judge Ralph Bloodworth was assigned to the case. Judge Bloodworth previously presided over the case until Dennis made a motion to substitute the judge in September 2018.

Dennis is representing himself and told Judge Bloodworth he refuses to speak to the doctor because it goes against his Scientology beliefs.
