The judge said the question was whether what has been diagnosed as an autism spectrum disorder makes Depa “incompetent to proceed under the fairly low standard of competency." Perkins cited a report from a psychologist who testified for the defense, pointing to a part where “(Depa) says 'But that’s not going to work. They have video evidence against me.’" "That shows in my mind a depth of understanding not only the nature of the charge and the consequence of that, but who is doing what and where,” Perkins said. The competency evaluation ordered by Perkins in March concluded Depa was competent and the legal case against him could proceed.
