Gleason Opens for Defense in Thaw Case
Attorney Gleason opened for the defense in the Thaw trial arguing that Harry Thaw acted under Providence and temporary insanity when he killed Stanford White. He pressed the jury to judge sanity by the law and not a higher unwritten code, claiming heredity and stress caused Thaw’s actions and that self defense and lack of malice were key defenses. The attorney urged the jury to assess Thaw’s mental state through the test of sound mind and understand the defendant’s perspective.
