Castro“"Appellant cites no case which has held that amnesia, whether due to substance abuse, trauma or a disease, creates per se, lack of competence to stand trial. On the contrary each court which has squarely confronted the issue has found loss of memory regarding events surrounding the alleged crime does not in and of itself create lack of competence to stand trial."1 Footnote 1: "Cases across the country consistently hold loss of memory as to the alleged incident is not per se lack of competence to stand trial." (Citing twelve cases from other states.) (Citations omitted.)”
