    She could be committed to a hospital through involuntary civil commitment proceedings; she won't be able to stand trial; she might end up being confide for an indefinite period despite Jackson v. Indiana.

    Explanation:

    A competency evaluation consists of a defendant's mental health evaluation to establish the level of memory and comprehension the individual has regarding his accusation and the crime he/she has committed, and also his/her comprehension about how the court proceeds and how to find assistance in a lawyer to defend him/her.
