[Knitting A Conundrum]

This is something to think about though:

While a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity is a full acquittal of charges, in cases where the court finds that there was a threat of serious bodily injury to anyone, then the criminal court retains jurisdiction and must order the defendant be committed to a maximum security unit within the Texas Department of Mental Retardation. The criminal court retains jurisdiction for a period of time as long as the maximum term provided by the law for the crime committed.

Interesting, but I read that to mean the court has the final say so as to when she is elgible to be released upon a finding of mental competency at some later date and not by some board hearing.. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
