Thaw fights Lunacy Inquiry as Jerome presses case
Defense attorney Peabody said Thaw will oppose any commission to determine his sanity. Jerome seeks to challenge Thaw’s mental state while Hartridge and Thaw push for a jury verdict based on the events of June 25. A commission would end the trial if Thaw were declared insane, sending him to Matteawan with no further trial.
