On 8 March 2001, former Australian Defense Intelligence Organization official Jean-Philippe Wispelaere "pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria to a charge of attempted espionage and now faces at least 15 years in prison for trying to sell stolen classified U.S. documents.... The case has dragged on for nearly two years because Wispelaere suffered such a serious bout of schizophrenia that he was declared temporarily unable to stand trial."

Jean-Philippe Wispelaere, the former Australian intelligence analyst charged with selling U.S. secrets, "is not mentally competent to stand trial at this point, federal mental health officials have found.... Wispelaere was supposed to go on trial earlier this month ... on espionage and attempted espionage charges, but in September his behavior became increasingly erratic and bizarre, his lawyer said. [He was] sent to a federal corrections facility in Butner, N.C., for observation, and officials there concluded that he was incompetent to assist in his defense.... The doctors at Butner have asked for 120 more days to evaluate and treat Wispelaere."

"Admitted spy James Michael Clark testified [on 16 October 1998] that he had passed two dozen classified documents to East Germany on his own but that he never conspired with a District couple on trial for espionage.... Clark told the 15-member jury panel that [Kurt Alan] Stand introduced him to an East German, who in turn put him in touch with Lothar Ziemer, who became his longtime spymaster. He said Stand and [Theresa Maria] Squillacote had told him that they had received much of the same training in spycraft and met many of the same East Germans."
