I've got a jury trial on competency set for Thursday. The problem I am having is that the McClung's edition I have uses the old CCP 46.02, instead of 46B. I've looked in the jury charges database on this website, but I don't see one for incompetency. I think I know pretty much how to modify the old charge, but there were some disagreements between myself, defense, and the court at jury selection. So, if anyone has charge based on 46B, or an opinion on how to modify the old charge, I would appreciate the feedback.
It sounds like you need a copy of the book Mental Defenses, available for purchase from TDCAA for the low, low price of $25. Forms, including jury charges are included on a CD. All competency forms are based on the new law, 46B.
