Voir Dire and Jury Instructions

super agg sex case

Defense attorneys in my county have been arguing that once a defendant has been found incompetent and not likely to regain in the foreseeable future, that the Defendant cannot be sent for competency restoration on subsequent cases and must, instead, either have their cases dismissed or be subject only to civil commitment.

Defense lawyers in my county have been sitting in on some competency examinations along with their clients and the doctors, stating that they need to be able to do this in order to show the doctors that they can't communicate with their clients.
