Car Crash Insanity Defense
FILE - The Nathan Deal Judicial Center, home of Georgia's Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, is seen, Feb. 11, 2020, in Atlanta. No one disputes that Michelle Wierson crashed her SUV into a car stopped at a traffic light, causing the death of a young boy, but while prosecutors say she needs to be held accountable for her actions, her lawyers say her mental state at the time absolves her of liability. The Georgia Court of Appeals, which is set to hear arguments in the case Wednesday, May 1, 2024, will decide whether Wierson’s lawyers can use the insanity defense at trial and, if so, whether the state can try to prove that she wasn’t taking her medication.
