Cook said the facility has requested Ansley be given unsupervised off-ground privileges. Several doctors are expected to testify.
Corbett was fatally shot in front of witnesses near her parked car at North 10th Street and Campbell Avenue shortly after 2 p.m. July 27, 2002, just blocks from her Dayton Street home.
In addition to her work at Miami, Corbett, 55, was active within the Hamilton community as a historical preservationist involved in the restoration of older homes and had served as president of the Dayton Lane Historic District board.
Ansley confessed to shooting Corbett, who was her landlord and employer. Ansley said she believed Corbett and others were drugging her, invading her dreams and plotting to kill her, according to court documents.
In May 2003, the lower court acquitted Ansley of aggravated murder charges after psychological evaluations determined she was legally insane.
She was then committed to a maximum security mental institution in Columbus. In 2007, Spaeth ordered Ansley transferred to Summit, a less restrictive facility.
