Meeting Program:
Assessing the Tell-Tale Heart: Competency and Sanity in the Courts
by Dr. Jennifer Bundrick
Dr. Bundrick will briefly describe the training and role of forensic psychiatry in the criminal justice system. Then, we will examine the approach to assessing competency to proceed in the Colorado court system with historical perspectives. We will explore the difference between assessing competency and assessing legal insanity at the time of the alleged crime, again with the background of historical understanding. We will discuss a few more well-known cases within Colorado, along with some of Dr. Bundrick’s personal experiences over the last five years.
