He can not be tried until he has a competence hearing.

Is that a banana in your pants or are you just wishing me a happy new year?

“assaulted a convenience store clerk with a banana”
Maybe he fell for the banana in the tailpipe treatment.

The notorious lone bananaman.Was his face covered? Then he could be the same felon known as the Lone Bandana-Bananaman.
