A hearing at the end of this month may determine whether a defendant in a Lyon County attempted murder case will get a competency hearing.
Defense attorney Rick Meier filed the request Monday on behalf of Marisol Alcala Alpolinar, saying Alpolinar made several references to ghosts and did not remember being given the standard Miranda warning as part of statements made to law enforcement.
The prelim is set for September 30.
Alpolinar is accused of attempted murder, aggravated battery, battery and criminal threat after allegedly cutting her mother with a knife in late August.
