Clearly, both Killercop and the court would have benefitted

"I want to assure the court. We agonized over this."
A.K.A. The Case of No questions asked.

Nicolaysen: "May I inquire of Your Honor whether or not the court is planning to make ANY "factual findings" in regard to the "reasonable cause standard" under the statute since there are no findings that have been submitted by the government?"

The argument is an ingenious one, but, as a matter of fact and federal constitutional law, it "presently" falls of its own weight!

1. Standard. In order to find a defendant competent, a court must find by
a preponderance of the evidence that he or she has sufficient "present" ability to consult
with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding and that he has a
rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him. Dusky v. U.S.,
362 U.S. 402 (1960).

"The defendant’s presence is not necessary" ~Judge A. Howard Matz, Secret Hearing Transcript of 04.07.2003 Docket 158

The defendant's presence is not necessary? Really? How arrogant can Judge A. Howard Matz be? Read the rule of the law, again...I would think it is vital. And funda-mental. Just ask yer good buddy... the omnipotent... Chief Judge Alex Kozinski.
Alex Kozinski is making a new rule of law, too, like you. The rule of no law, A.K.A. rules trump rights.
LOOKS UP LAW>>> Martin v. Settle, 192 F.Supp. 156, 159 (W.D. Mo. 1961) (competency hearing may MPT be conducted in absence of the defendant and doing so deprives the defendant of due process of law).
In Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 819 n.15 (1975), the
Supreme Court stated that a defendant has the “right to be present
at all stages of the trial where his absence might frustrate the
fairness of the proceedings.”
But that was when words mattered.
"The right of an accused in a criminal trial to due process is, in essence, the right to a fair opportunity to defend against the State's accusations. The rights to confront and cross-examine witnesses and to call witnesses in one's own behalf have long been recognized as essential to due process." Mr. Justice Black, writing for the Court in In re Oliver, 333 U. S. 257, 333 U. S. 273 (1948), identified these rights as among the minimum essentials of a fair trial:
"A person's right to reasonable notice of a charge against him, and an opportunity to be heard in his defense -- a right to his day in court -- are basic in our system of jurisprudence; and these rights include, as a minimum, a right to examine the witnesses against him, to offer testimony, and to be represented by counsel. "
Few rights are more fundamental than that of an accused to present witnesses in his own defense. E.g., Webb v. Texas, 409 U. S. 95 (1972); Washington v. Texas, 388 U. S. 14, 388 U. S. 19 (1967); In re Oliver, 333 U. S. 257 (1948).
The Supreme Court has "long
recognized . . . that . . . justice cannot be equal where, simply
as a result of his poverty, a defendant is denied the opportunity
to participate meaningfully in a judicial proceeding in
which his liberty is at stake." Ake v. Oklahoma, 470 U.S. 68, 76,
(1985)

"Due Process of law is the right of the Citizen affected thereby to be present before the tribunal which pronounces judgement upon the question of life, liberty, or property, in its most comprehensive sense; to be heard, by testimony or otherwise, and to have the right of controverting, by proof, every material fact which bears on the question of right in the matter involved. If any question of fact or liability be conclusively presumed against him, this is not due process of law." Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, page 500.

"'Face to face with living witnesses the original trier of the facts holds a position of advantage from which appellate judges are excluded. In doubtful cases, the exercise of his power of observation often proves the most accurate method of ascertaining the truth. . . . How can we say the judge is wrong? We never saw the witnesses. . . .'"
