A 14 year old Tomah Junior High student was found insane at the time of the November 19 slaying of Martin Mogensen, 46, the junior high principal, by Monroe County Judge James W. Rice. He was committed to Mendota State Hospital and an eventual Monroe County hearing will decide if he can stand trial. Doctors testified the youth is now sane but insane at the crime, with long built up anger and antisocial behavior including truancy, drug use, fighting, and disdain for authority. The judge noted lack of capacity to understand the crime's seriousness and to conform to law.
