Ortiz, 36, of Orlando, Florida, has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and more than a dozen other felony charges tied to a March shooting at the couple's property. No one was hurt, but bullets ripped through an Airstream trailer where the two were sitting and struck the wall of a nursery where their young children were at the time.
The judge's ruling clears the way for criminal proceedings to move forward after they had been paused to evaluate Ortiz's mental state. She now faces trial on charges connected to one of the more alarming celebrity security scares in recent memory, given how close the gunfire came to the couple's kids.
For Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, the case now heads toward resolution in court rather than sitting in limbo. The shooting also exposed gaps in celebrity home security. With competency no longer in dispute, prosecutors can proceed with the full slate of charges against Ortiz.
