ELIZABETH SMART CASE Woman not competent to face kidnapping trial

Wanda Barzee will continue to be treated.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The woman accused in the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping still is not competent to stand trial and must receive another year of treatment, a judge has ruled.
Wanda Barzee, 58, who first was ruled incompetent in January, remains incompetent, but there is a "substantial probability she may become competent in the foreseeable future," Third District Judge Judith Atherton said Tuesday. She ordered another evaluation Aug. 10, 2005.
Barzee and her husband, Brian David Mitchell, are accused of kidnapping the then 14-year-old girl at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City home June 5, 2002, and holding her captive for nine months. Authorities said Mitchell, a self-proclaimed prophet, wanted the girl for his second wife.
Barzee and Mitchell are charged with kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated burglary and attempted aggravated kidnapping in Elizabeth's disappearance.
Testing mental health
Dr. Gerald Berge of the state hospital testified that it had been difficult to properly evaluate Barzee at the hospital because she was "not open to some of the procedures."
Berge said Barzee still had ongoing "revelations" tied to her own religious beliefs and those she shared with Mitchell.
Berge said Barzee believes the late Ezra Taft Benson, a president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave Mitchell "the keys to the kingdom, establishing him as the head of the church."
The couple had been excommunicated from the church, as are all members who advocate polygamy.
Barzee also believes she had a relationship with Johann Sebastian Bach in the pre-existence, and "he was present at one of her organ recitals," Berge said.
