I agree, I think if that dossier mentioned a while ago was ever produced and acted upon, all parties would probably have skeletons in the cupboards as to previous 'dubious' activities.

From my law angle,I would be saying this as to anyone, if they couldn't now understand the charges or be questioned,or be able to answer same to the point of also not being able to understand the court proceedings.
Then unfortunate as that may be, they cannot get a fair trial,if they cannot understand or speak in defence of themselves.
