Intent Disputed In Murder Trial
In Redwood City California psychiatrists differed over whether Elaine Soule could form the intent to kill her roommate Catherine Elvins when she battered her with an iron and stabbed her with a kitchen knife last July 24. Prosecution witness Dr Otto G Freyermuth said Soule could have formed intent because she was conscious, while defense experts argued she could not premeditate or form intent. Judge Frank Blum allowed Freyermuth to testify to shed light on the defendant’s state at the time. The trial proceeds with final arguments to follow before the panel of five women and seven men renders a verdict.
