Former Rangers star and 1980 “Miracle on Ice” Olympian Mark Pavelich on Monday was reportedly deemed unfit to stand trial on charges stemming from an alleged brutal August assault on his neighbor.
The decision was handed down in First District Court in Grand Marais, Minnesota by Judge Michael Cuzzo, who ordered the suspension of Pavelich’s pending trial, according to The Duluth News Tribune.
“He lacks the ability to rationally consult with counsel, is incapable of understanding the proceedings, and is incapable of participating in the defense due to mental illness or deficiency,” Cuzzo said.
