Zachary Knotts v. West Virginia

if-defendant-not-competent-to-stand-trial
QUESTION(S) PRESENTED 1. If a defendant is indicted and found not competent to stand trial, is the court obligated to write a final order disposing of the case when the court no longer has jurisdiction over the individual? 2. If a court fails to write a final order disposing of the indictment, does this raise issues of double jeopardy, and are the individual's constitutional rights violated? 3. When a defendant is deemed not competent to stand trial, but requests a bench trial to determine if there is sufficient evidence for a conviction, what is the level of proof that is required? Do the requirements stated in US v. Haymond, 139 S. Ct. 2369 (June 2019) apply here?
