Insanity Defense Centered At Morgantown Trial
In Morgantown on July 16 the defense and Judge G Baker argued admissibility of an alleged confession by James Greathouse in the Cassidy murder case. The state seeks evidence that Greathouse and Cassidy rode together, quarrelled over money, and Greathouse later fled in Cassidy's car after shooting him on a rural road. The defense plans an insanity plea, citing the mother’s death at Weston State Hospital and possible family mental illness. The state aims to complete its case today with testimony from Hallie Stillman and others.
