DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A Florida judge says she wants to know why two mental health reports differ before deciding whether a woman accused of trying to kill her children by driving her van into the Atlantic Ocean in 2014 can be moved from a psychiatric hospital.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (https://bit.ly/2qE8Ky0 ) reports Circuit Judge Leah Case said a May 4 report by one doctor shows that while 36-year-old Ebony Wilkerson meets the criteria for involuntary commitment, she could be sent to a less-restrictive center. A report received Tuesday from another doctor says she no longer meets the involuntary commitment criteria.
The judge hasn’t set a hearing date.
