If you can't be shown to be competent to be tried, then euthenasia like a proven dangerous animal may be appropriate.

As harsh as it sounds, there are no doubt cases wherein such disposition might reasonably apply.

This is insane. There should be speedy trials before they are hanged.

I would imagine that rather than actually being incompetent these individuals are very well coached on exactly how to appear to qualify as incompetent under the law.

While trying to be discrete, the number of times that I was able to game the system is scary. Only the fact that my father was as smart or smarter than I was and on a similar point on the Asperger's spectrum kept me from being a total sociopathic criminal.
