Michael Has Been Charged with Murder, but He Does Not

question 10

True/False

Michael has been charged with murder, but he does not seem to understand the charge against him. He does not seem to understand that if he pleads guilty, he is going to go to prison. His attorney has been trying to work with him to no avail; Michael has not been rational the entire time he has been in custody. Since a defendant's competence is only evaluated in terms of one's ability to stand trial, it is likely that he will just be advised to go ahead and enter a plea.
