NORTH HERO, Vt. - A Vermont judge says the Montreal woman accused of drowning her eight-year-old son in Lake Champlain will be confined to the Vermont State Hospital because she's incompetent to stand trial.
The ruling in the case of 50-year-old Louise Desnoyers by Vermont District Court Judge Michael Kupersmith was a formality.
Last month, Kupermith found Desnoyers incompetent to stand trial on first-degree murder charges that she killed her son.
Legal proceedings against Desnoyers are now on hold until she regains her competency, no matter how long that takes. Once she's competent should could go on trial.
Police says Desnoyers killed her son, Nicholas Desnoyers-Langlois, in August 2006 because she was breaking up with the boy's father.
