William Palmer denied release from Lima State Hospital
In Allen County Court at Lima the panel rejected Palmer's release from Lima State Hospital for the criminally insane. A 1 to 1 vote split between Dr. F Vidal and Judge James B West left Palmer confined. prosecutor John Holcomb criticized the decision as unsafe and urged retention after a fatal 1976 case in which Lori Lea Palmer was killed. Palmer was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1977 and has since faced reexamination and opposition from local psychiatrists and a 4,091-signature petition.
