I was once on a jury that ruled (in only 30 minutes of deliberation) that a proven murderer (about a dozen eyewitnesses as well as a confession) was competent to stand trial. The judge overturned that ruling. Gee, I feel so corrected.

Me too, The defense said the perp. (Black guy who killed two kids of his GF, and stabbed her), was too dumb (IQ 70) to be found guilty. Amything under 75 and your not accountable - sure explains Congress. We the Jury found him guilty, got life.
