Ortega appeared briefly in Manhattan court on Friday. Defense attorneys and prosecutors discussed handing over evidence. The hearing was adjourned until November.
Police say Ortega stabbed 6-year-old Lucia Krim and 2-year-old Leo Krim to death on Oct. 25, 2012, in a bathroom while their mother, Marina Krim, was out picking up her third child from a swimming lesson. They say Ortega cut her throat in a failed suicide attempt.
Ortega is from the Dominican Republic. She has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
Defense lawyer Valerie Van Leer-Greenberg says Ortega's delusions and injuriesmean she can't understand the case, but a state Supreme Court justice found Ortega fit for trial.
According to the New York Post, the Krims welcomed a baby boy earlier this month.
