The homeless woman arrested along with her husband on charges of kidnapping teenager Elizabeth Smart was ruled incompetent to stand trial Friday and was committed to a mental hospital.
Wanda Barzee, 58, will be periodically evaluated and could someday be brought to trial if found competent. Another review was set for April 15.
Barzee earlier this week waived her right to a hearing to contest the findings of two experts. One doctor concluded Barzee was paranoid schizophrenic; the other said she has a shared psychotic disorder, presumably with her husband, self-styled prophet Brian David Mitchell.
Based on those reports, Judge Judith Atherton ruled that Barzee lacked the ability to assist in her own defense.
