Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by determining that defendant/appellant was not competent to stand trial. The defendant/appellant had sufficient knowledge of the particular facts and circumstances of his individual case and possessed sufficient competence to understandingly and wisely waive representation by counsel. The trial court did not err by retaining jurisdiction over defendant/appellant and committing him to Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare-Moritz. The trial court erred by imposing consecutive terms of involuntary commitment in violation of R.C. 2945.401(J)(1).
