19  defendant is unfit, the Court court or the jury shall
20  determine whether there is substantial probability that the
21  defendant, if provided with a course of treatment, will attain
22  fitness within one year, except where the defendant is facing
23  either a Class A or B Misdemeanors, in which case the period of
24  time shall be no longer than the maximum for the most serious
25  offense. If the court or the jury finds that there is not a
26  substantial probability, the court shall proceed as provided
