Judge Garrett could find the agency in contempt of court and fine the state $1,500 per violation if she finds the agency has the ability but is unwilling to accept them as patients."

Didn't anyone see the No Vacancy at the front door. Humboldt alone has had how many not competent to stand trial ? If your competent enough to kill someone or beat someone or steal from someone you're competent enough to stand trial.
