Their findings were announced Wednesday by Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Charles Burton. He plans a hearing soon so the psychologists can be questioned by prosecutors and the defense lawyers for Semmie Williams. Williams is accused of killing 14-year-old Ryan Rogers on Nov. 15 after the teenager went out for a bike ride. His body was found the next day alongside an Interstate 95 overpass.
