TAMPA — Nearly two years after experts pronounced Jamie Hicks paranoid and unstable, the same doctors have decided she is fit to stand trial for starving and physically abusing her eight children.
Two psychologists who interviewed her several times since her arrest in 2014 said at a hearing Monday that they now believe she is competent.
She faces charges of child abuse, child neglect and child neglect with great bodily harm. If she is convicted, she could receive a maximum sentence of 160 years in prison.
