Defense lawyers say the former longtime CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch may have dementia, and a competency hearing is necessary to determine if he can face sex charges.

Why? I’m genuinely curious but I’m not very well versed in legal details.
At the time of the crimes, he didn’t have dementia. Is this just a way to escape consequences?
Under US laws, you have to be competent to be able to stand trial.
I see, thanks. We have something similar but not as clear cut as this.
Always nice to see a generally positive comment thread :)
If you celebrate holidays this time of year I hope you have a lovely holiday season!
