Art. 114 Fitness to plead
1 An accused is fit to plead if he or she is physically and mentally capable of understanding the proceedings. 2 In the event of temporary unfitness to plead, procedural acts that cannot be delayed shall be carried out in the presence of the defence. 3 If the accused remains unfit to plead, the criminal proceedings shall be suspended or abandoned. The special provisions on proceedings against an accused who is not legally responsible due to a mental disorder are reserved. |
