Amanda Bynes Ruled Competent To Stand Trial

With all that has gone on in Amanda Bynes' life the past year it is easy to forget that what started everything were her frequent hit and run accidents and a DUI arrest. Because of the conservatorship in which she was placed and her admission to the mental health facility at UCLA, a judge had previously ordered Amanda was not competent to stand trial for the charge. Now that Amanda is in a rehab facility and due to be released sometime next month a judge ordered that Amanda is competent to stand trial now.

It is not like there will actually be a trial. She will be sentenced to community service and probation and that is where things will get interesting. Will she do what she is required? Will her mother be able to control her? Will Amanda take her medications? Will Amanda look for a new boyfriend in a cab driver that looks like Drake? Will there be enough wigs in the supply chain to satisfy her demand? Will she go back to work? Will Oprah give her $2M for a reality show? I think I may have said this before but I have never really been worried about Lindsay Lohan dying or overdosing. I think she has done far too many drugs for far too long and would have a lot of trouble actually killing herself. I do feel though that Amanda needs to be watched all the time or she might kill herself accidentally or otherwise.

  1. If you really cared, your article wouldn't mock the challenges Amanda faces since she has been diagnosed with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and is still unable able to care for herself.

  5. That's a lot to deal with

    I actually feel bad for her and hope she can get the help she needs to resume some type of normal life.

    And her parents also.

  12. @dereck I disagree, I would feel bad for anybody who screwed up so bad before getting help if they stay on their meds and do what they need to . I feel for her because mental illness is not caused by anything but genetics. Now if when she gets out she stops takin her meds then and only then do I think she deserves a harsh punishment. Community service and a fine is a perfect compromise in my mind.

  13. Medication does not cure mental illness and adherence to such is inherently challenging and not merely about willpower.

  14. I don't believe Amanda's diagnosis has ever been confirmed publicly. I think TMZ's drawing their own conclusions.
