- W149026863 abstract "Justice Breyer wrote majority opinion, in which Justices Roberts, Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Alito joined. The majority held that the Constitution permits states insist upon representation by counsel for those competent enough stand trial under Dusky but who still suffer from severe mental illness point where they are not competent conduct trial proceedings by themselves.3 The Court found that standards for competence stand trial (CTST) set forth in Dusky v. United States4 and Drope v. Missouri5 do not address relationship between mental competence and right represent oneself.6 Both Dusky and Drope competence' standard forbidding trial of an individual lacking rational and factual of proceedings and sufficient ability consult with his lawyer with reasonable degree of rational understanding focus on defendant's ability consult with his or her counsel, and therefore assume that defendant would be represented by counsel.7 The Supreme Court in Faretta v. California* established a 'constitutional right proceed without counsel when' criminal defendant 'voluntarily and intelligently elects do so.'9 The Edwards majority recapitulated five justifications for this right as set forth in Faretta: (1) State law rather uniformly provides that forcing defendant have legal representation when defendant does not want legal representation violates his or her right defend himself or herself; (2) language of Sixth Amendment grants rights (3) Sixth Amendment indicates that rights related fairness in justice are personal accused; (4) historical examples of coerced representation are lacking; and (5) respect for individual.10 However, Edwards Court noted that Faretta does not address mental competency and makes clear that right self representation is not absolute.11 Faretta stated that right of self representation does not provide defendant with right to abuse dignity of courtroom,12 to avoid compliance with 'relevant rules of procedural and substantive law,'13 or engag[e] in serious and obstructionist misconduct.14 The Edwards majority explained that only prior Supreme Court case consider both mental competence and self representation was Godinez.15 There, Court had found that the competence that is required of defendant seeking waive his right counsel is competence waive right, not competence represent himself.16 Edwards concluded that, despite similarities between Godinez and this case?both involve mental incompetence and self-representation, ... defendant who wants represent himself,. . . [and] mental condition that falls in gray area between Dusky's minimal constitutional requirement that measures defendant's ability stand trial and somewhat higher standard that measures mental fitness for another legal purpose17?the issue in Godinez was whether defendant could waive his right legal representation so that he could change his pleas guilty without legal representation, not whether he was competent conduct his own defense at trial without legal assistance.18 The Godinez Court pointed out that it did not need consider defendant's technical knowledge about how proceed with trial.19 This was consistent with its earlier statement in another case that [o]ne might not be insane in sense of being incapable of standing trial and yet lack capacity stand trial without benefit of counsel.20 In reaching its conclusion that states may insist on representation by counsel for those defendants who, due severe mental illness, are not competent conduct trial proceedings themselves, Edwards majority relied on Dusky and Drope's focus on defendant's present ability consult with counsel and assist counsel in preparing his or her defense.21 Edwards also pointed out that Faretta's conclusion in support of right self-representation was based some extent upon cases wherein courts adopted competence limitation this right22: Cappetta v. Florida1^?which supported self-representation provided that 'no unusual circumstances exist' such as, e.g., 'mental derangement' that 'would ... deprivfe]' defendant 'of fair trial if allowed conduct his own defense.'24?and Allen v. Commonwealth,25 which stated that 'the assignment of counsel' was 'necessary' where there was some 'special circumstance' such as when criminal was 'mentally defective.'26 In addition, Edwards cited both clinical and legal authorities in advancing importance of functional abilities in self representation.27 The American Psychiatric Association stated in its amicus brief that [disorganized thinking, deficits in sustaining attention and concentration, impaired expressive abilities, anxiety, and other common symptoms of severe mental illness can impair defendant's ability play significantly expanded role required for self-representation even if he can play lesser role of represented defendant.28 Moreover, Adjudicative Competence: The MacArthur Studies 103 stated, Within each domain of adjudicative competence (competence assist counsel; decisional competence) data indicate that understanding, reasoning, and appreciation [of charges against defendant] are separable and somewhat independent aspects of functional legal ability.29 Additionally, McKaskle v." @default.
