SB 1417 Competency report; unrestorably incompetent defendant.
Introduced by: T. Montgomery "Monty" Mason | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Competency report; unrestorably incompetent defendant. Provides that in cases where a defendant's competency is primarily compromised due to an ongoing and irreversible medical condition and prior medical or educational records are available to support the diagnosis, a competency report may recommend that the court find the defendant unrestorably incompetent to stand trial, and the court may proceed with the disposition of the case based on such recommendation. Under current law, the defendant is required to undergo treatment to restore his competency before the court can find a defendant unrestorably incompetent to stand trial.
