Peterson v. State
Peterson v. State
Opinion of the Court
We have read the briefs filed by counsel and reviewed the record and it appears to us that the trial court was presented with reasonable grounds to believe that appellant was not mentally competent to stand trial or be adjudicated in violation of her probation. Accordingly, the, trial judge should have granted the motion for continuance and, upon receipt of the report of the third psychiatrist appointed to examine appellant, the trial judge should have held an evidentiary hearing to determine if appellant was competent to proceed with a hearing on charges of violating her probation.
REMANDED.
