Description
A mother accused of killing her son and hiding his body in a suitcase in rural Indiana in 2022 will be headed back to court.
On Wednesday, Washington County Judge Larry Medlock said Dejaune Anderson's doctor signed off, saying she is fit to stand trial in the death of her 5-year-old son, Cairo Jordan.
Back in August, Judge Medlock ordered Anderson to undergo psychiatric treatment after two doctors found her unable to stand trial. For months prior, she submitted dozens of handwritten motions filled with conspiracy theories in an effort to represent herself at trial, which was slated to begin in October.
Court records indicate Anderson was admitted to the Logansport State Hospital around late August.
