A more thorough explanation: “Criminal incapacity” refers to a state in which an individual lacks the mental capacity to understand the nature and consequences of their actions, and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible for their behavior. This concept is often used in legal contexts to determine whether a person is fit to stand trial or to be held accountable for committing a crime.
Example: The defendant’s criminal incapacity due to mental illness was a key factor in the court’s decision to order a psychiatric evaluation.
