There should be no question of a trial at a later date, however. If the defence has proven that he was incompetent to stand trial at the time of the offence, and at the preliminary hearing, then his freedom is forfeit, or should be.

But your ex, unmedicated could easily do something similiar, and yet she is free to roam. Do we lock him up forever because he was not as fortunate as her to be diagnosed?
