[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yates had been inpatient and [b]tested[/b] for psychosis previously, I believe. We don't seem to have those facts here, or, at least, they have not come out yet. It would seem to be be a more uphill battle for Clancy to establish a "not guilty by reason of insanity" defense -- it's a pretty high bar and requires more than a diagnosis of mental illness. In Yates' case, there was testimony from psychiatrists and others observing her. She was directed not to be alone with the children by her psychiatrist. I don't know that we have those facts here. What a horrible situation. [/quote] treated* not tested[/quote]
