Unless perhaps said experienced attorneys are aiming for some sort of not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity or mental defect approach.
Wait, we've talked about this under Idaho law:
legislature.idaho.gov
18-207. Mental condition not a defense — Provision for treatment during incarceration — Reception of evidence — Notice and appointment of expert examiners. (1) Mental condition shall not be a defense to any charge of criminal conduct.
But, could this mean a revolving-door approach? Psychiatric institution, court, psychiatric institution, court, lather rinse repeat?
Horrible for Larry & Kay, Colby, and the taxpayers if so.
