Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Re: insanity defense

Complicated. If not competent you may not be tried. If dangerous you may be held until you become competent or are no longer a danger. If not criminally responsible but competent and not dangerous a not guilty. All this must be set in motion by an attorney or the Court and the Court will probably will not even address the issues unless and until a medical expert opines that the person is not competent or not responsible.
