YOUNGSTOWN -- Jackie Colon, the 14-year-old girl accused of stabbing a 3-month-old baby to death in December, has been found to be incompetent to stand trial.
The Roxbury Avenue girl will be placed in a mental health residential facility for one year, said her lawyer, Joseph F. Rafidi.
If, after the year, she is deemed competent, she will stand trial.
The ruling came Monday in Mahoning County Juvenile Court.
