Former N.J. man who made Obama death threats sought mental help before

MEDFORD LAKES — The ex- South Jersey resident accused of posting an online death threat against former President Barack Obama is not competent to stand trial — a fact his family has argued all along given the man’s decade-long mental health struggle. According to a Feb. 6 order in U.S. District Court, in Pennsylvania, 33-year-old William Peterman’s evaluation required by Magistrate Judge Carol Sandra Moore Wells found that he “at the current time he is not competent to stand trial.”
