Cevap

B FalsePreliminary screening can result in further evaluation of both criminal responsibility and competency to stand trial. These are two distinct legal concepts: criminal responsibility pertains to the defendant's mental state at the time of the offense, while competency to stand trial concerns the defendant's ability to understand the proceedings and assist in their own defense. Both aspects may be evaluated if initial screenings suggest the need for further assessment.
