What began as bizarre and random behavior from Amanda Bynes has turned into a serious downward spiral, as her battle with mental illness is brought to light.
Now, according to her lawyer in a DUI case, she is mentally unfit to stand trial.
According to TMZ:
Amanda was supposed to appear in court today for her DUI arrest in West Hollywood back in April, 2012. Amanda’s lawyer, Rich Hutton, told the judge Amanda did not have the mental capacity to understand the nature of the legal proceedings.
The judge apparently had concern … and transferred the matter to the mental health court. The judge in that court will conduct a hearing to determine Amanda’s mental competency.
Meanwhile, Amanda is getting long-term treatment after being placed under a conservatorship.
We’re praying that she finds the help she needs and gets better soon.
