Big news. Malka Leifer has been declared fit to stand trial regarding the possibility of extradition to Australia. A panel of 3 psychiatrists evaluated her over a period of two months and determined that she is fit.

The end of the saga is far from nigh, but it can at least now proceed. No longer can she hide behind her claims of being mentally ill and unfit for trial.

She should also be charged with obstruction of justice and lying about her mental state, if possible. If the allegations are true, she is a walking danger and every day she is walking around freely is a day of danger to all the neighborhood children in the area. Her hiding behind false claims does not make her look innocent, but she at least deserves a trial to determine innocence or guilt, and now she might actually get it.
