Your comment implies that this year long delay is to try to restore competency to then go forward with typical criminal proceedings; is this true? I was under the impression that the case has, in a practical sense been resolved and he is now facing the “consequences” under the autism deferment, with the scheduled court date to determine if that is still appropriate.
The technical language here definitely gets a little fuzzy since the point of the deferral is to give them greater flexibility than they would have if it was officially called punishment for a conviction
From my understanding of the timeline, Chris was originally booked on misdemeanor incest, screwed up the crucial six month hearing and was sent to both JMU's forensic psychology unit and Western, where he spent a short amount of time in each (indicating he's not crazy), for competency. After he returned from Western is where we he talked about how no, Barb actually groomed him because he thought her sarcasm after he paid for a prostitute in the middle of legal adventures for hitting Snyder that were costing lots of money, was actually an indication of Barb's grooming him, so it wasn't his fault. (First time Chris actually had a "defense")
After the year he spent bouncing from various psych evaluations, right back to jail is when the one year anniversary hearing came up, where his charges were brought to the grand jury, and they came back with a felony incest charge.
That's when Heilberg locked the case down and threw the autism card down. The judge granted a 1 year evaluation period until August of 2023, where it sounds like from Chris, he's waiting for Western to find him a group home where he can be placed and monitored. Heilberg's trying to see if he really is so broken that he can't function, or Chris just stays Chris.
One way or the other, Chris is still facing felony incest charges, unless something happens in that year long evaluation that Heilberg can use. Either way, it'll be two full years since he was arrested before any kind of official trial on the incest will happen, and either way, Chris's future isn't looking good.
ETA:
Remember when they booted him out of the evaluations at the very minimum amount of time? That tard out he described, where he was hogtied and pinned and put into the bondage chair was from when he found out that he was leaving Western, but instead of getting released, they were sending him right back to jail, because he wasn't crazy enough to take up a bed there.
Chris probably assumed that when they said he "was fine", it was like the therapeutic docket diversion where he talked with shrinks and professionals and they said he was fine and not a criminal, then he got movie tickets and a rose from the judge. In essence, they were saying "you're not insane, you fully understand what's going on".
