Thaw Trial Shifts to Insanity Defense and Lunacy Inquiry
California criminal lawyer Del tas challenged the case with an unwritten flaw and insanity theory. District Attorney Jerome opened with witnesses needed to prove Thaw killed White. Evelyn Thaw testified on how her story of mistreatment by White may have driven Thaw to kill. Alienist testimony cited a brain storm at the time of the shooting. Jerome later declared Thaw insane, prompting a lunacy commission that ruled him sane. The defense then focused on insanity under Martin W. Littleton as chief counsel. Trial ran from January 6 to January 28.
