STATE OF LOUISIANA V. SETH T. STRICKLAND
— STAFF
We find there was no violation of Pate, Drope, or Articles 553, 561, 650, 651, and 653. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding the defendant competent and allowing the defense to enter a dual plea of “not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.”
La. Ct. App. · affirmed in part
Whether a trial court must revisit a restored defendant's competency before trial or sentencing absent any new bona fide doubt of capacity.
