Mental Health Facility Choice Not Court Right
Idaho Supreme Court rules state mental health authorities alone determine the facility for insanity acquittees. The court also held that authorities cannot discharge or condition custody without district court approval. Kermit Nielsen, acquitted of murder on insanity grounds, has been committed to the state penitentiary and held in the maximum security unit. The state sought district court authority to transfer Nielsen from the state prison unit.
