The case you are referring to is B Pate v. Robinson (1966). In this case, the U.S. Supreme Court held that it is contradictory to argue that a defendant may be incompetent and yet knowingly or intelligently waive his right to have the court determine his capacity to stand trial. The Court emphasized the necessity of a separate competency hearing when there is a question about a defendant's mental competence.
