No if they're found incompetent and can't be rehabilitated then they're usually committed to a mental institution for a period of about a quarter of their sentence. No trial involved
It shouldn't matter, and know I'm not arguing against you personally. The idea that we should charge someone criminally because they're retarded or whatever is ehhhh I guess, but if they are dangerous they still need to be locked away to protect the public. Charges or not. This is lefty insanity.
How can they decide what 1/4 of the sentence is if there's no charges & no trials?
Just wondering.
Maybe the judge had him committed for a specified duration? That's about the same thing, he'd just estimate the potential sentence?

Quarter? If charges are dropped you’d be lucky to see them do more than 90 days. They have no legal authority to keep them longer otherwise.
My state has them committed for at least a quarter 🤷♂️
Fair enough. It’s three months here and in Colorado I’m pretty sure, and that’s with a court order.
