According to the Supreme Court ruling in Jackson v. Indiana, if a defendant is found not competent to stand trial and is unlikely to regain competency, they cannot be held indefinitely in a psychiatric facility. The individual must either be freed or civil commitment procedures must begin. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect as the individual cannot be tried or found guilty if they are not competent to stand trial. Choice B is also incorrect as the individual cannot be held indefinitely in a psychiatric facility.
