Ala. R. Crim. P. 11.9
Committee Comments to Rule 11.9 (as Amended Effective October 1, 1996)
Because proceedings in district and municipal courts are conducted without a jury and with the right to a trial by jury available on appeal for trial de novo in the circuit court, and in recognition of the defendant's right to have a jury determine the question of competency to stand trial, the procedure established by Rule 11 is restricted to the circuit court.
