The state court is directed: to consider whether to conduct a hearing to determine Musaid’s competence just before trial. If the state court determines that it cannot hold a hearing to reconstruct Musaid’s fitness at the relevant time, or if it holds such a hearing and determines that it is not sufficiently convinced that Musaid was competent at the time of trial, issuance of the writ would be appropriate unless the state brings Musaid to trial within a reasonable time with a finding that he is competent for such a trial.
