Sanity hearing set for Robert Hiatt in Pocahontas case
Robert E Hiatt 30 of Pocahontas has a sanity hearing tentatively set for March 26 in Emmetsburg Dist Judge R G Rodman of Cherokee. Hiatt was freed from the state hospital for the insane on a writ of habeas corpus last year after a court ruling on his transfer from Anamosa to the hospital. The Iowa Supreme Court reversed Rodman, allowing the transfer as lawful. Hiatt's attorney Lue Prichard plans to pursue the original writ of habeas corpus and argues the key issue is sanity. Hiatt was convicted of shooting Delmar Wan Horn Jr, who married Dorothy Snook of Newton.
