Retards can be found in all walks of life. Some people believe they can even be president. Some people believe this has already happened. |

That is where the competency hearing comes into play. The person may just be hospitalized in a mental facility. |

I don't think they will be sent to jail since they do not know how to handle themselves in prison or what to say in court. They will probably just be sent to a mental institution. But you need to know what to say or what to do when you go to prison. |

I'm sure there are many mentally retarded people in the prison system who have never been formally tested or recognized as such. The same probably goes for psychotic and demented individuals, no doubt. |

I do believe that if they are mildly retarded that yes they can be sent to jail.
I don't know what happens if they are severely retarded, though. |
