The man charged with stabbing a dentist at the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department last December has pled guilty to the crime.
Daniel Hale will be sentenced September 14. He was accused of robbing then stabbing Doctor Candice Flener as she walked into work. He told police he did drugs before the attack.

In court Friday, Hale’s attorney asked for an evaluation ahead of his sentencing to determine whether he is competent to understand his punishment.
Judge Pamela Goodwine called the move orchestrated, saying Hale was fully competent when he entered his guilty plea, but said she would order a basic evaluation.
