[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A plea agreement is basically a settlement -- very hard for the judge to second-guess an agreement that is agreed to by both sides. You should be mad at the prosecutors who agreed to the settlement.

"The ruling followed a plea agreement reached between defense attorneys and prosecutors after clinicians from both sides determined Danehower was legally insane at the time of the killing."[/quote]

Seems like the psych experts created an impossible situation to get a conviction. I’m curious about what the facts were to make them believe he was legally insane at the time of the killing. I mean of course you have to be some level of crazy to do this, but why did 2 doctors find him insane in the legal sense?

I am hoping at the least their findings hold up so that he is detained in a psychiatric facility for a very long time (ideally life). If he had been stalking the wife for a long time, then his insanity must be a fairly permanent feature and I don’t see how he could ever be safe for release.

This is such a tragic case. [/quote]
