Mother in the Vinton County children endangerment case is seeking a competency evaluationATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) — The Vinton County mother facing multiple felony charges for allegedly keeping her 16 children in deplorable conditions is seeking an evaluation to determine whether she is competent to stand trial. She is also seeking an evaluation to determine whether she was legally insane at the time of the alleged crimes and therefore should be found not guilty. The other three defendants in this case, Siders’ husband and his mother and father, have already requested competency evaluations and the judge has granted those requests. Siders’ attorney, J. Thomas Stolly, wrote in the motion for an evaluation that he has met with Siders “on numerous occasions and for extended periods.” If the judge approves the motion and orders an evaluation, there will be a 30-day deadline for it to be completed.
