370 Aid and Assist definition
370 Aid and Assist refers to the statute wherein a person is accused of a crime and they are unable to participate in their trial because of a qualifying mental illness; or otherwise referred to as being Unfit to Proceed. In these cases, the court may issue an order under ORS 161.370 for the defendant to be sent for Restoration Services, either taking place in the community or at the Oregon State Hospital, so he or she can become well enough to “aid and assist” in their own defense.
