Boy Clyde Cleared Under Insanity Rules In Court
Maine uses the Durham rule on insanity and the MacNaghten rule in most states. Justice Rudman instructed jurors that if the defendant’s age meant he lacked the capacity to know right from wrong and to foresee consequences, acquittal could result. A verdict of mental disease would send Clyde to a hospital. The nude body of the Bowie boy was found near a pond. Clyde allegedly said he stabbed Wendell to prevent him from telling his mother about sexual play attempts.
