If she is found not guilty due to insanity, there will be a hearing to decide what her treatment will be.
I had found info about this and posted on the other thread..I'll copy/paste it here:
"From what I understand regarding Florida Law, if she is found 'Not Guilty by reason of Insanity' she would not necessarily be discharged and "go free". A hearing would be held to determine if she would be institutionalized, or receive out-patient care and be assigned a social worker, or if she would not receive any care at all.
This is based on Florida Statute 916.15 - Involuntary commitment of defendant adjudicated not guilty by reason of insanity.
The Full Statute can be found here:
http://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2011/916.15
This statute states that: "A defendant who is acquitted of criminal charges because of a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity may be involuntarily committed pursuant to such finding if the defendant has a mental illness and, because of the illness, is manifestly dangerous to himself or herself or others."
and
"In all proceedings under this section, both the defendant and the state shall have the right to a hearing before the committing court."
As well as Rule: 3.217. Judgment of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity
which states: "... if the court then determines that the defendant presently meets the criteria set forth by law, the court shall commit the defendant to the Department of Children and Family Services or shall order outpatient treatment at any other appropriate facility or service, or shall discharge the defendant. Any order committing the defendant or requiring outpatient treatment or other outpatient service ...""

Thank you so much for the timeline. Nicely done. Do you have anything for her behavior Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
I wonder why he left town with Beau and left JS alone New Years if she couldn't get out of bed and was suicidal according to PS email.
Please correct me if I am wrong...JS is about 53 years old. She was an Army Intelligence officer, fluent in Russian, an interpreter and interrogator for over 10 years. What was the real reason JS left the service?
In many posts, but one of the latest ones, Bernina Post 326, said PS stated she (JS) was broken when he (PS) married her (JS). He knew of her condition for 20 years.
I don't have all the dates of service, marriage date etc., but was JS known to have issues when she was a teenager, early adult life but also, from the above comment, JS had issues when on active duty! How could she have these problems and the military not be aware of them? I would think that her problems would interfere with her work as important as it was.
How long or when was JS diagnosed with bi polar disorder? Did her family before JS not get her treated as it appears this was an on going issue.
Something is missing. Please help me connect the dots.
PS: I have someone extremely close that is bi polar. It was not discovered until age 50 after a brain injury. I understand the husbands side in a lot of ways. I do understand some of what those that experience are saying, but if JS has had this for 20 plus years that PS knew her, what happened prior? And having experience with the military, I wonder what happened during that time.
thanks everyone for all your input.
