Ebony Wilkerson has been in jail since June 8, when a judge revoked her conditional release. Wilkerson admitted in court today that she had violated the conditions of her release by not taking her medication. When Wilkerson stopped taking her medications, she had a psychotic episode.
Dr. Jeffrey Danziger, a psychiatrist, testified that Wilkerson does well when she takes her medication. Danziger told the judge that Wilkerson is not actively mentally ill, showing no symptoms after staying on medications.
The hearing will resume on Friday. Wilkerson and her husband will testify at that time.
