P. v. Caro
Defendant John Archangle Caro was convicted of committing a lewd act upon a child after he pled no contest. On appeal, he contends the trial court erred when it failed to conduct a competency hearing after he produced a psychological report prior to sentencing that concluded he was legally incompetent. Court agree and reverse with instructions to conduct a competency hearing consistent with sections 1367 through 1369 of the Penal Code.
