Charles Sykes will continue to stay hospitalized at St. Elizabeth’s, for the time being.
Sykes is charged with second-degree murder while armed after he allegedly killed Cheryl Schafer on April 22, 2016.
Judge Puig-Lugo decided Sykes would remain in the hospital until September 1 unless it is determined he no longer needs to stay there beforehand. Sykes’ attorney has previously raised a not guilty by reason of insanity defense. The case is set to continue Sept. 1.
