Woman ruled mentally unfitPITTSBURGH — A woman accused of drowning her two young sons in a bathtub was ruled Tuesday to be mentally unfit to stand trial on murder charges in their 2014 deaths.Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning made that ruling after a psychiatrist testified that Laurel Schlemmer, 42, continues to have paranoid delusions, depression and psychotic symptoms. Schlemmer also told the judge she’s been refusing to take her psychiatric medications.Assistant District Attorney Lisa Pellegrini said Schlemmer can’t be forced to take the medications in jail, so Manning plans to order Schlemmer returned to Torrance State Hospital for up to 60 days’ treatment. Before then, however, he will read a final report on Schlemmer by Dr. Christine Martone, the psychiatrist who testified Tuesday.Manning determined Schlemmer was mentally unfit for trial in May 2015 but found her competent two months later — again on Martone’s recommendation — after Schlemmer received treatment at Torrance.According to police, the 42-year-old McCandless woman told officers she heard “crazy voices” before she held her 6-year-old son, Daniel, and his 3-year-old brother, Luke, underwater on April 1, 2014.
