What happens if a dismissal with prejudice order is issued or a judgment of acquittal is rendered in favor of the Defendant on grounds of insanity, mental disorder, weakness, or serious psychological disease?
The Public Prosecution or the court (depending on the circumstances) will order that the Defendant be placed at a medical treatment facility until a decision about their release is made. This will be done after reviewing the report of the medical treatment facility and hearing the statements of the Public Prosecution. The Defendant's release will be granted only if their sound mind has been recovered or if they are no longer considered dangerous.
