At one point during proceedings, one of the officers in the room said Bennett was heavily sedated.

that’s fucked.

What the fuck. How can they possibly be seen as fit to stand trial? Seems like any conviction would be a slam dunk to turn over with an appeal.

My hope is that it was ticking a required box from the states side, like they’re required to inform him why he is a prisoner.

In a just world he’d need to be informed regardless of his condition within a period of time, but of course simply be in medical care until he’s able to stand trial.
