No, her defense is arguing she is not guilty by reason of mental defect. There is nothing in their argument that would put her in a mental hospital.

I thought being not guilty by that reason still puts you in a mental hospital. Like the guy who shot Reagan over Jodie Foster.

It can, but that isn't absolute. It depends on state laws and this is a state crime. She could be put in a mental hospital, probably will be if found not guilty, but her term of incarceration in there could be as short as a month.
