Kellye Sorelle, a lawyer for the Oath Keepers militia who has herself been hit with conspiracy charges for her role in the deadly Jan. 6 riots at the United States Capitol building, has been ordered hospitalized so she could undergo mental health examinations.
As flagged by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, Judge Amit Mehta on Tuesday formally declared that Sorelle was not competent enough to stand trial for her alleged crimes.
"The Court finds by a preponderance of evidence that Defendant is presently suffering from a mental health disease or defect rendering her mentally incompetent, to the extent that she is unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against her or to assist properly in her defense," wrote Mehta.
