Defendants with chronic intellectual deficits require special considerations when evaluating and attempting to restore their competency to stand trial (CST). Intellectual and functional deficits may impact a defendant's ability to demonstrate competency-related abilities as well as their capacity to be restored to competence. This study explored the predictive relationship between the intellectual and functional deficits of intellectually impaired defendants and their ability to manifest the required abilities to meet the criteria associated with CST. A significant predictive relationship between intellectual ability and competency-related abilities was predicted. Additionally, I hypothesized defendants with more severe functional deficits could be predicted to be less likely to be found competent to stand trial. Finally, for chronically intellectually impaired defendants found incompetent to stand trial, an examination of their time in competency restoration treatment was examined to determine if restoration to competence was impacted by other factors. It was predicted that intellectually impaired defendants facing more severe charges would spend a greater amount of time in competency restoration programming, regardless of the severity of their functional or intellectual deficits, due to prosecutorial discretion. The first two hypotheses, regarding the impact of functional and intellectual deficits on CST, were found to be somewhat supported by these data. Though the statistical model revealed limited ability to predict competency based on IQ or psychiatric diagnostic specifier alone, both variables were found to have a significant correlational relationship with CST. The third hypothesis was more clearly supported by these data, and severity of charges faced by a defendant found incompetent to stand trial was found to be a significant predictor of the amount of time the defendant will spend in competency restoration treatment, regardless of the chronic nature of their deficits and limited capacity to demonstrate competency-related abilities.
