““[w]aiver of arraignment provides a basis for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel only if the defendant can show he was unaware of the charges against him. McArthur v. State, 169 Ga.App. 263 , 312 S.E.2d 358 (1983). In the ab sence of any claim or evidence that [the defendant] was not aware of the charges against him, he has failed to show that counsel’s performance was deficient.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“When . . . the factfinder has made a determination of competency, the appropriate standard of appellate review is whether after reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, a rational trier of fact could have found that the defendant failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was incompetent to stand trial.”
