JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One year after a woman was arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at a hospital pharmacy, a judge said the accused killer is not competent to stand trial.

Police said Brenda Coney walked into Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center last November and shot and killed pharmacy manager 37-year-old Shannon McCants.

The victim left behind a husband and two children, and at the time of her death was pregnant with her third child.

While Coney will not stand trial now, a victim's advocacy group said not all hope is lost for McCants' justice-seeking family and loved ones.

"Psychologically, she's not able to comprehend exactly what happened," said Ann Dugger, of the Justice Coalition.

Dugger said decisions like the one recently made by a judge could often be devastating news for a family that is hoping for a conviction, but said it doesn't mean there would never be a trial.

"What we're looking at is if this person is incompetent, for them to get treatment, and it does not mean they will not stand trial because if they become competent, they will stand trial," Dugger said.

Dugger said that's important because if Coney went to trial now and was found insane, she said it's possible the woman might not do time for the killing.

"When they find out that all they've gone through is to no avail and the charges are dropped, that would be a nightmare," said Dugger.

She said she thinks the court decision was for the best, but said with the decision coming on the one-year anniversary of the shooting, it can't make it any easier for someone grieving the loss of McCants.

"Now, that it's an anniversary date and they don't see justice being served, and all of a sudden there are regrets and having to start all over again, which makes it very difficult for healing process," Dugger said.

Coney's competence to stand trial is expected to be reviewed again in March.
