Does she want to keep having this Islamic murderer psychologically evaluated until he is diagnosed the way she wants him to be diagnosed? This is justice?

It does no one any good to have a defendant plead guilty and have an appellate court reverse because the defendant was not proven to be competent to enter that plea. The judge is actually helping the prosecution in the long run: there will be an evaluation; the defendant will be found competent; he will plead guilty; and there will be no possible issue on appeal.

Ok. The question is...how many psychological evaluations need to be performed before one is ruled competent to stand trial?

Thanks. I was hoping that someone with legal knowledge would weigh in.
