“are not challenged on appeal, they are deemed to be supported by competent evidence and are binding on appeal.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“by reason of mental illness or defect he is unable to understand the nature and object of the proceedings against him, to comprehend his own situation in reference to the proceedings, or to assist in his defense in a rational or reasonable manner.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A motion for continuance is ordinarily addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court and its ruling is not subject to review absent an abuse of discretion. However, if the motion is based on a right guaranteed by the Federal and State constitutions, the question presented is one of law and not of discretion, and the ruling of the trial court is reviewable on appeal. Whether a defendant bases his appeal upon an abuse of discretion or a denial of his constitutional rights, he must show both that there was error in the denial of the motion and that he was prejudiced thereby before he will be granted a new trial.”
