Defense Appeals After Thomas Verdict On Mental Sanity
Defense lawyers Matias and Wilson plan a new trial and verdict setting aside in the Donald E. Thomas murder case to push for a modern Iowa sanity rule. They argue McNaughton is outdated and seek Durham or irresistible impulse standards, noting diminished responsibility recognized in 1965. Thomas killed his wife Sharon Kay Thomas last November 17 and faces life without parole.
