A judge set a date Thursday for a final hearing on the competency of Elizabeth Johnson to stand trial for allegedly kidnapping her infant son in December 2009.

Judge Paul McMurdie set a September 16 date for the hearing. In court in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday, he also rebuffed defense efforts to have Johnson—who has been in jail since her January 2010 arrest—released on house arrest and to have Maricopa County prosecutors removed from the case.

The Florida Attorney General's Office filed a response Monday to Casey Anthony's appeal of a ruling requiring her to serve a year of probation, while one of Anthony's attorneys said Sunday that she is back in Florida and prepared to serve if the appeal fails.

Judge Belvin Perry ruled earlier this month that Anthony must report to the Florida Department of Corrections by the end of this week to begin her year of probation for her 2010 check fraud convictions. Defense attorney Jose Baez reportedly told Fox News host Geraldo Rivera that Anthony is already back in the state and waiting for the appellate court's decision.
