They can do all the mental exams they want. But it sounds to me like the guy is trying to live up to his nickname, Psycho and he is showing his contempt for the court. The article says he used his hands to fling drops of urine.
A judge set another hearing date for March 25, allowing more time to settle the question of Sykes' competency.

Shackle him, put a diaper on him and go on with the trial.
I see they're being tried in a California court, so the Marines must have kicked them out and handed them over to the State. (I mean, obviously they'd be kicked out, but they'd have to still be Marines until their court martial -- otherwise they couldn't be subject to a court martial.)
A Murrieta jury deliberated a little more than an hour and a half before reaching a verdict in the mental competency trial of former U.S. Marine Kesaun Kedron Sykes.
. . . Sykes will appear in court Friday for a trial readiness conference, and the [murder] trial was given a commencement date of no later than July 25. http://murrieta.patch.com/articles/jury-finds-former-marine-mentally-competent-to-stand-trial
