Rebecca Auborn, 34, understands the nature and objective of the proceedings and can assist in her defense, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Karen Phipps said in the order Thursday.
It was not immediately clear whether a trial date has been set.
Auborn was indicted in October 2023 in connection with nearly 30 crimes, including multiple counts of murder, aggravated robbery and felonious assault, a copy of the indictment shows.
Auborn has pleaded not guilty. Her lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
