So sad. I hope they do receive some compensation that they can use to do good things in Colleen's memory.
Defense in 2nd Chism case wants competency evaluation
BOSTON — Philip Chism, the Danvers man now serving 40 years to life for the rape and murder of teacher Colleen Ritzer, will try again to mount an insanity defense when he stands trial in an attack on a Department of Youth Services worker three years ago.
Attorneys for Chism, who turned 18 in January, asked a Suffolk Juvenile Court judge on Monday to have him undergo a new competency evaluation.

He will try to beat the system, trick the tester and get sent to a hospital instead of where he is....then try to get the first trial reversed. JMOO
Wow... He's still posing a danger. Bail is not set high enough. He should sit in jail until the trial. How dangerous!

Philip Chism, charged with killing teacher, faces separate attempted murder charge
Philip Chism, a 15-year-old Massachusetts boy accused of raping and killing his math teacher in a high school bathroom, was arraigned Wednesday on attempted murder charges stemming from a separate attack on a female youth services clinician.
Prosecutors laid out a narrative of what they said was "the defendant's intent to murder" a female employee last month at the Dorchester Department of Youth Services facility where Chism is being held pending trial, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said.
A judge set bail at $250,000 and ordered Chism to not have contact with witnesses, including the victim. He is to appear in court September 19 and an automatic "not a youthful offender" plea was entered on his behalf.
