Leavenworth Woman Found Competent for Trial
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) - A judge has ruled that a northeast Kansas woman accused of leaving her baby alone in an alley is competent to stand trial.
An attorney for Elizabeth Michaud of Leavenworth argued earlier this year that the 28-year-old was not competent to stand trial.
Michaud is charged with aggravated endangering a child after she allegedly left her son alone May 3 in a Leavenworth alley. Prosecutors believe she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time.
On Friday, a Leavenworth County judge found Michaud was competent to stand trial after receiving a report on a recent evaluation she was given.
The Leavenworth Times reports a pretrial conference was scheduled for Jan. 25.
