Carolyn Barnes
If the law allows a mentally incompetent lawyer to represent a citizen, then the law needs to be changed, because that is ridiculous.
– John Bradley, the outgoing District Attorney for Williamson County, Texas, commenting on Carolyn Barnes’s ability to represent clients from inside her unit at a state psychiatric facility. Barnes has been involuntarily committed since mid-2011, when she was found incompetent to stand trial on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
