When it comes to CST (competency to stand trial) it is their competency at the time of TRIAL. It has nothing to due with the time of the crime, that question arises when there's a defense of insanity. CST is the ability of the defendant to understand the legal proceedings, understand what he/she is being charged with, and be able to assist their legal team.
