Murder suspect Holly Colino has been deemed not competent to stand trial, and will be placed in a state mental health facility.

Colino, 31, is accused of fatally shooting Orleans County resident Megan Dix on Aug. 25 as Dix, during a break from work, sat peacefully in her pickup truck in a Brockport parking lot.

Two psychiatrists evaluated Colino and judged her incompetent to stand trial. In court Tuesday, First Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles said the DA's Office was not challenging those conclusions.

To be competent, a defendant must be able to understand the courtroom proceedings and to have a firm enough grip on the proceedings to assist the defense attorney.

In court, Colino told state Supreme Court Justice Charles Schiano Jr. that, when treated, "I will not do pills or medication."

"I am very calm, collected," Colino said in a steady voice. "I am a very competent person.

"Mental health is actually irrelevant to an actual court," she said.

Schiano told Colino that the psychiatrists had found her "highly intelligent" but "not competent to stand trial." The reports said Colino is "confused on certain things," Schiano said.

No more specifics about the psychiatric reports were released. Schiano also said in court that he had received letters from Colino.

Colino's attorney, Mark Foti, also agreed that Colino should be treated

After Colino was captured and arrested on the murder charge, a portrait emerged of a troubled woman who had posted a series of bizarre YouTube videos in which she appeared to think women were trying to steal her identity.

Colino is accused of second-degree murder; criminal possession of weapons; the threatening with a gun of a woman in Henrietta; and a two-hour escape from Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies before she was apprehended again. The alleged escape happened after Colino was arrested on suspicion of the other crimes.

Colino is not scheduled to return to court until August 2018, when her competency will again be discussed. If she is found, through treatment, to be competent before that date, she would return to court earlier and would be prosecuted.
