Scott seeks insanity defense in Chicago death case
Russell T. Scott faces a sanity hearing set by Judge Joseph David after his defense to prove prison psychosis. Prosecutors counter the plea as a bid to escape the gallows for the 1924 murder of Joseph Mauer. Detroit and Windsor supporters raise funds, while a rival effort to block Scott’s sanity claim is linked to political pressure to abolish capital punishment.
