 State of Michigan
Court of appeals in the Matter of James Eugene Blackshear, Minor
In three
separate juvenile proceedings, the Van Buren Community Mental
Health Agency (CMHA) intervened to challenge the trial courts
orders that directed the CMHA to pay for forensic evaluations to
determine whether the juvenile respondents, diagnosed with mental
retardation, were competent to stand trial. The CMHA also
intervened to challenge, in Docket Nos. 240665 and 240666, the
court orders that included forensic evaluations to determine
whether the respondent juveniles were legally insane at the time
they allegedly committed the charged offenses. In Docket No.
240556, the CMHA challenged the order to judicially admit the
juvenile, who was incompetent to stand trial, to the care,
treatment and supervision of the CMHA.
