A man charged over the fatal shooting of an SA Police officer will admit to the "objective elements of the offence", but his lawyer says a mental health defence is being considered.
Andrew Graham said Mr Stimson, 26, of Senior near the SA-Victoria border, has been housed at the facility since January without court order and it was "now appropriate that order be made". Outside court, Mr Graham said his client did not have a diagnosed mental illness at the time of the incident in November, but that reports were being compiled for a formal diagnosis.
"Just because someone has a psychotic illness doesn't necessarily mean they've got a mental competence defence and that's what we need to investigate.
