B.R.C. v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the Court
CASANUEVA, Judge.
In these consolidated appeals, B.R.C. seeks review of a disposition order withholding adjudication and sentencing him to probation in trial court cases 15-867 and 15-350. B.R.C. argues that the trial court failed to hold an adequate competency hearing before proceeding with a bench trial in both cases. He also challenges the finding of guilt in case number 15-367. We agree that the trial court failed to conduct an adequate competency hearing and thus reverse and remand for further proceedings, as explained below. We affirm B.R.C.’s remaining issue without discussion.
